This recipe was very easy to make - but the "batter" was more of a dough, and "cake" was more of a biscuit. It was good (ooey, gooey and chocolatey), but definitely not very sweet. I actually thought it tasted better once it had cooled.

This was an okay dessert. The cake was heavy and doughy and not too sweet. The hot fudge swirl was nice but did not have enough ooph to make the recipe a keeper for us. Served warm with ice cream.
