  1. We loved this super simple cake Kate. I didn't have any bi carb soda, but that didn't seem to matter, used vanilla paste and finished with a chocolate ganache. I baked at 160c fan forced for 40 minutes would consider reducing that by a few minutes next time.
     
  2. This cake was dead easy to make. I wondered about the flavour but this improved on the second day, and it was much better iced. My husband didn't care for it much but my workmate begged for the recipe. Keeper for me, thanks. Cheers!
     
  3. A seriously easy cake with a delicious end result. I substituted almond meal with all purpose flour as we are not on a low carb diet. I made the cake in an 8x8 inch cake pan and got 4 x 4 nice squares. Thanks for sharing. Made for Holiday Tag.
     
  4. Made this for the DH to take to work for morning and afternoon teas (does 12 hour shifts) and he declared it definately closer to a 5 than a 4 - high praise from him. He does not like his cakes iced and they also have to freeze well as I bake slice and freeze and he chooses what he want s to take and this passed all the tests - definately a OAMC recipe. In the preparation I put the butter, sugar and milk in a 4 cup microwave proof jug and put on full (900W) for 2 minutes, removed and then stirred to mix everything and melt the last of the butter and proceeded as per recipe using the jug, though it was only as I put it in the oven that I realized I had not added the rum essence, so stirred it in and into the oven at 170C fan forced for 45 minutes (could possibly have done with a couple of minutes less - will check at 40 minutes next time, I baked the cake in a 8x8 square pan but the smell as it was cooking was wonderful and when cutting it was moist but with a rich denseness about it. Thank you katew for the best chocolate cake recipe yet to pass the DH's tests, made for Everyday a Holiday.
