I cooked mine at 170 degrees Celcius as my oven does tend to burn things, and I cooked it for 70 minutes (after 60 minutes I checked it with a skewer and I thought it seemed a bit too moist in the centre, but an extra 10 finished it off nicely). I used Cadbury Dark Chocolate Melts and they worked really well. For the cake part I melted them by pouring the hot coffee over them. No saucepan required. I didn't have raw sugar so used white sugar. After reading a review about the amount of baking soda I reduced it to 1.5 teaspoons, just to be on the safe side., approved=true, user_name=Andrea, hs_createdate=1702249851986, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175435916}, {comment_text=I thought it was the most devine and scrumptious cake batter of life. Words cannot describe the love i have for this recipe and I cant wait for all my fellow friends and family even co workers to try this, I bless you for who made this recipe and thank you for everything., approved=true, user_name=melissa powell, hs_createdate=1702249851510, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175557435}, {comment_text=3 blocks of chocolate! What's not to love. Tasted incredible. Best cake ever., approved=true, user_name=Joan, hs_createdate=1702249851433, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175361053}, {comment_text=After reading all reviews, I decided to reduce cooking time and lower the temp.. 30min at 170.c then 15min at 160.c the cake sunk ever so slightly in the centre but don't be fooled as it was cooked perfectly!! I was concerned when I read about how the cake crumbled.. but when the cake was in the tin cooling I pressed it down gently to try compact it ^_^ not sure if this actually did anything but it was a perfect mud cake, no crumbs at all! Managed to get 12 beautiful slices and I used a hot knife ! YUM!, approved=true, user_name=Jade, hs_createdate=1702249851426, rating_new__1_5_=4, id=11175356452}, {comment_text=It sounds great but I only have 100g of chocolate so what can I put in alternative?CHELSEA: Hi there, seeing as this recipe requires quite a bit of chocolate for both the cake and the icing we would recommend getting more chocolate before you make it. Try 'Chelsea's Favourite Chocolate Cake' or 'American Chocolate Cake' for yummy alternatives., approved=true, user_name=Emily, hs_createdate=1702249851263, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175587189}, {comment_text=Reading the reviews, I felt it's a great recipe. I hardly bake. It's my husband's birthday coming up and just wanted to know whether this cake can be made without eggs. Is there any substitute for eggs that I can use?Chelsea Sugar:You can purchase egg substitutes at most supermarkets., approved=true, user_name=Jinal, hs_createdate=1702249850095, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175400557}, {comment_text=Too much lemon extremely sour, approved=true, user_name=Grace, hs_createdate=1702249849979, rating_new__1_5_=3, id=11175607167}, {comment_text=I haven't made this mud cake yet so I didn't really rate it but I was wondering if I could leave the coffee out or substitute it with something else. I love all your recipes. Thanks!!!CHELSEA: Hi there, you could replace the cup of hot coffee with a cup of hot water, that will still work fine. You can't actually taste the coffee in the finished baked cake though, it is more there to give the chocolate a flavour boost :-), approved=true, user_name=Breanna, hs_createdate=1702249849504, rating_new__1_5_=3, id=11175415313}]}
