Either the ingredients or directions are wrong for this recipe. The cake was only about 1.5cm high, not at all like the photo, and so dense and flavourless it was difficult to swallow. I would love a good eggless chocolate cake recipe, but this is definitely not it! - 29 Mar 2014
This is one of the best chocolate cakes I have eaten. It is dense like a mud cake, simple to make, and scrumptious. I have also used it to make a Black Forest Trifle as my brother has a severe egg allergy and he never gets to eat most desserts. I must say....he took the leftovers home on Christmas Day. A Winner in my books. - 31 Dec 2013
Awesome recipe was easy to follow and very moist. Only error I made is I didn't mix the baking soda with the milk. Haven't baked for such a long time this recipe won't fail. - 19 Apr 2014
