Did anyone else add the cream to the batter? ARG!

Delicious! I took this to a large social event and ended up with none left. I didn't follow the directiosn fo cooking exactly and I don't knwo how much it mattered. I just ended up making the batter and cooking it for 45 minutes like you would a cake. I also whipped the eggs with an electric beater and I never refrigerated the baked product. I meant to originally but when I was making it, I was in a hurry and i forgot to reread the recipe. However, it was amazingly rich and fabulous tasting. I love the fact that it was actually fairly healthy. Eggs, butter, and dark chocolate, great examples of good fats, protein, and antioxidants. Definitely making again!

Great recipe. Others were right that the batter can be a little too much,but maybe our pans our smaller. I just fit what I could and cooked it. I also cooked it for about 1 hr 20 minutes. It is a very gooey cake, but when you have a cake made with sugar, eggs, and chocolate with no flour-what do you expect? Because its so gooey and rich, it feeds many people! Very tasty!

I followed the directions exactly as written and this turned out wonderfully. The best passover desert I have ever had.

I thought this was a great chocolate cake. Very rich, so serve slivers. I like to add raspberries for garnish and to offset the intense chocolate.

I made this recipe using a combiation of 75% and 65 % chocolate. IT WAS A CHOCOHOLICS best for a cake. I made it again using a muffin pan for indiviual servings. For this recipe, cut the baking time by 10 minutes. A keeper for sure. Ken

This cake is excellent! It is dark, very rich, and undoubtedly decadent. I made no changes to the recipe and would definitely make it again as is.

Our church has a Seder each year and I took this as my dessert this year. It got rave reviews from the crowd, though it was mostly because it was like a pan of chocolate goo. I left it in as per the directions, and even cooked it in a slightly larger, square pan - and it still didn't completely set as a cake. I'm not sure if that's because I didn't beat the eggs long enough or if I needed to cook it longer, or if it's just supposed to be that consistency. It was kind of like the middle of a really fudgy, undercooked brownie - but the top had a crunch layer. Personally - I thought it was AWESOME, as I love undercooked brownies, cookies and raw doughs and batters. But if I were making it for a crowd again, I would cook a bit longer.

This is a specialty I am now known for. So easy! SOOO good! UPDATE: I see a lot of people complaining about the egg not being thick. My eggs never get thick and it's OK! Some people separate and whip up the eggs; I find that that gives air to the cake that makes it less like decadence and more like a mousse. Decadence is a dense, rich concoction. You want to whip the eggs to make sure they are uniform (without distinguishable whites or yolks), and you want to fold them in so as to not incorporate more air than absolutely necessary. Also, for those of you who find there's too much -- you're probably using a 9" pan; this recipe calls for a 10" pan. In a 10" pan the batter never even reaches half way up.

As with another reviewer, I had too much batter for the pan....this was a disaster. It took WAY longer to cook than the recipe suggested, plus the center never cooked!!! This was horrible...I ended up throwing the entire thing away, pan and all!

I made this once before and I'm having the same trouble. I'm not sure how long to whip the eggs and my batter doesn't fit in my pan. I also can not tell when it is done. Help it's delicious, but I don't know if I'm making it correctly.

This was the yummiest no flour chocolate cake. My family raved about it when I made it for "my" birthday. This was exactly the cake I was looking for and was better then the slice of cake I can buy at my favorite bakery/deli. Be sure to have lots of friends over because it is rich and serves a bunch. You don't want leftovers because you will end up eating them all YOURSELF!! Love it!!

What a recipe! We loved it at our house, but it is a little difficult to make. It lasts a long time, because it has to be sliced in small wedges, it is just too much to eat a lot of all at one time. Wonderful flavor, but very very rich.
