Awesome !!! My wife, who follows a different recipe, loved this one more. And my kids, who don't like mushrooms, ate and enjoyed all of it. Definitely take "BEEZLYS" advice on adding garlic, Worcestershire sauce and cream cheese, which makes all the difference. Additionally, as she stated, corn starch is much easier to use as a thickener than flour, unless you make a rue first. The only liberties I took with the recipe was to use fresh instead of canned mushrooms, and I didn't bother to measure amounts, just "eye-balled" them instead.

Fantastic!!! This cake was VERY Chocolatey, sweet (but not too), moist (not wet), just about PERFECT. Taste like a dessert you'd have at a fine restaurant. This cake is great on its own, or dress it up with fresh whipped cream, berries, melted chocolate sauce (for chocoholics), rasberry sauce, whatever your hearts desire, it can handle it. The birthday girl (30+) I made it for, who's a chocoholic, absolutely loved it. As another reviewer wrote, it needed 50-minutes to cook, and I used a whisk instead of folding to incorporate everything.
