  1. I wish I had read the other review before making this recipe. I agree - major disappointment. Pudding never set. Chocolate flavor was not right - raw cocoa powder dominated. I think the absence of fat is the culprit - most recipes with cocoa call for fat to develop the chocolate flavor.
     
  2. This was a HUGE disappointment. There were two main problems I think. First, 3 tablespoons is just too much baking powder. It gave the cake a nasty aftertaste. Second, 3 cups of water is too much. The cake baked nicely but the "pudding" part remained watery in both texture and flavor. A huge waste of fresh cherries. Maybe cutting the baking powder down to 1 - 1 1/2 tablespoons and the water down to 2 cups would help, but I don't want to risk it. Neither my husband (a sweets whore) or myself liked it at all and the whole thing went in the garbage.

<p>My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) <br /><br />5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
