Thanks.😊 Your recipe says 5 eggs, (on the website as well) but showing 6 on the video. Also, is it 3 cups of sugar? Sounds a lot, wouldn't want to come too sweet. Any advice? Thanks

This is a delicious cake. I'm making it again today for my daughter's birthday but your website is down! Hope it's back up soon so I can access the recipe.

[@BritishGirlBakes]

I’m so sorry - it was updating but it’s working again now! So glad you love the recipe!

[@vytautemcbride6797]

My sponges turned out only about 1.5" tall (baked 6" 3 tier recipe) for a tall cake i thought it was quite small no? How can one adjust this recipe to make a taller /deeper cake? Im using 4"deep cake tins

[@BritishGirlBakes]

You can double the recipe if you like but your cake layers will bake more evenly when they're 1.5" thick than if they're 3" thick. If you do double the recipe I would reduce the baking temperature to 325 Fahrenheit so that the layers don't overbake around the edges.

[@lorrainehicks9172]

Thank you. I finally found a recipe that doesn't have coffee in it. I hate coffee. 😒 Also Thank you for explaining why the third thing. No one ever said why do the mixture in thirds before. That's just one of the reasons I love you and your tutorials. Thank you for sharing and keep on caking 💜

Yay! Thank you for your kind words, Lorraine!

Does anyone know if it’s medium or large eggs in this recipe?

[@highlandsewandsew1045]

[@shiraheller34]

Hi. Recipe looks great. Just 1 question. The recipe says 5 eggs but you show 6 eggs jn your bowl in the video. Are you using smaller eggs so added a 6th or is there a mistake in the recipe on the website? Thank you. Love love your videos. ❤

[@BritishGirlBakes]

Hi! I have several conversions for different sizes of this recipe and you’ll find that table (including the version with 6 eggs!) below the printable recipe on my website. The printable recipe (with 5 eggs) is for the most popular size of this cake 😊

[@birgitk6518]

Can I just make the half ingredients when I want to make 10 cm(4inch) cake? Edit: found an answer, ration is 0,25. Found very cool tin size converter.

[@BritishGirlBakes]

Perfect!

[@birgitk6518]

I am mind baffled!! I didn’t expect this cake to be so good, I kinda kept my expectations lower. BUT it’s like the best best chocolate cake ever. I made it and the bread part is like heaven, soft and moist and true, not too sweet, just perfect🤩 no doubt it’s going to be mu chocolate cake recipe I am start to use.

Hi I'm from the uk We tend too use margarine And self raising flour Do you have a recipe conversion for this please as I would love too try yours just would like too alter and use self raising flour and possibly margarine x 😊

[@BritishGirlBakes]

You can substitute margarine for the butter but self-raising flour is tricky to convert to - if you have Plain flour I recommend using that :)

[@victoriakirtley4793]

I've tried this recipe several times and for some reason it never cooks completely and that's even after putting it in for longer than time stated. I'm doing the 2 8 inch cakes

[@BritishGirlBakes]

Oh no! Every oven is so different. Do you have a third pan the same size? If you divide the batter into three pans they'll cook faster. Alternatively, use a smaller batter (try the 3-layer 6" cake in the table under "Tall Cakes" on the recipe on the website) in 2 8" pans and that will cook faster, too

[@victoriakirtley4793]

@BritishGirlBakes the annoying thing is it tastes amazing so chocolatey it just still looks wet on the top in the middle wasn't sure if I was over mixing with the mixer but tried one mixing my hand aswell 🤔 thank you for your advice ill try that next time 😊

[@bioafo]

Thanks for sharing. Would like to try out the recipe but want to know if you used regular or dutch cocoa powder? Can dutch cocoa be used as that is what we easily get were i am. Thanks

Hi... Can we use oil instead of butter

[@luisadeborahlucchi]

El procedimiento para hacerla con aceite es un poco diferente The procedure to make it with sunflower oil is a little different

[@lucyheartfilia2015]

So folks, I have never made a cake from this channel. If someone does make it please tell me how it went! Because I've tried so many recipes but still haven't found that moist cake which stays moist in the fridge for a week, the ones you get in bakeries

[@BritishGirlBakes]

Tricks for keeping it moist: 1) Frosting! If you frost the cake it seals the moisture so it doesn't dry out 2) Keep it covered after slicing it by pressing a piece of cling film/saran wrap against the cut side so it doesn't dry out 3) Eat it at room temperature. Cold cake tastes dry take the cake or a slice of cake out of the fridge 2-4 hours before you're going to eat it Hope that helps!

Hello. Why didn't you add buttermilk to the recipe?

[@ChefVicCuisine]

Wow! New sub here! I recently made Molten Lava Cakes on my page too and *your chocolate dish looks amazing!* Hope to stay connected! 😀

[@lynsam7380]

Disappointing result. 🙁 Not your recipe I must add. It was my first effort! I think I never left the butter long enough to get to room temperature. I also used my new Kmix for first time. I only had shallow tins which overflowed in the oven. They came out looking ok ish. I ploughed on and made a chocolate butter frosting and tried my hand at filling and covering the cake. (Have bought a revolving plate and all the equipment. ) Ha! Not as easy as it looks! Kept going though and produced a fairly good looking result. Chocolate frosting tasted lovely. Sadly, the cake didn’t taste good. Heavy and wet and dense like not cooked properly. 🤦🏻 I won’t give up though! I’ll let you know how I get on with the next one. XxLyn

[@victoriakirtley4793]

I'm having the same issue with it not cooking properly but it does taste amazing good luck on yours
