Very, very, good! I tried the Trader Joe's cake and thought it was yummy and thought that maybe I could duplicate it - well this recipe puts TJ's to shame! I haven't tried it with any of the mentioned toppings...but by itself, all the gals at my craft get together agreed it was the BEST. Easy to put together - I used a springform pan to keep it simple!

Excellent - warmed up the pieces in microwave - everyone raved about it. Definitely perfect for a party, and very easy to make.

Good recipe. I followed the reviewers suggestion to use all chocolate and omit to cocoa. It took well over the suggested baking time in my oven. I baked the cake (with changes) for an additional 10 minutes....could have used 15 or 20. But great flavour. Will make again with the changes and increased baking time.

Tasty. Could have been a little more presentable, but salvaged that with Satiny Chocolate Glaze from this site (prepared it on the thicker side- so it wasn't so runny). Served with a raspberry sauce I made by cooking the berries with some sugar/syrup. Will probably make it again.

This is a great and very easy recipe.It came out from the pan perfectly when I made it, I didn't even use a springform. I just liberally greased (and dusted with cocoa powder) my non-stick 8" pan, although it is crumbly when sliced, but considering it's still a cake and not a fudge, I think it's perfectly fine. I followed the recipe exactly and it was very good even without a topping. Thank you for sharing this!

It's very easy to make but not so easy to get them out, even though I greased and dusted with cocoa powder as suggested by some members. I also doubled the portion, added 2 and a half tablespoon of freshly brewed espresso and baked in big muffin tins (yielded 11) for about 25 mins. The small cakes collapsed quite a bit once cooled down but taste great good. Will certainly make it again.

I made this last night and it was wonderful! I also did not use the cocoa powder, but used half semi-sweet and half dark chocolate blocks. I used a drizzle of dark chocolate pieces melted into a little heavy whipping cream and then topped with whipped cream. It was exactly what I was craving.

This recipe is awesome, a true chocolate lovers treat. I made it for my mother's birthday. I followed the recipe as is. It is no time or trouble to make and the results are outstanding. The only problem I had was it breaking when I removed it from the pan. Not an issue, I cut it into chunks and layered them onto plates topping each portion with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. This is a recipe I will surely make again.

This 'cake' is very much like fudge once it's in the refrigerator. My husband kept insisting is wasn't cake. But, he loved it. I served with vanilla ice cream and sweetened whipped cream and it was delicious. Gone in two days. I followed suggestions and used parchment paper to like my pan and greased it very well. The cake came out very easily, although it broke when I placed it onto the serving dish.

I used this cake as a base layer, added a layer of peanut butter mousse (mixed 8 ounces cream cheese, 1/2 cup peanut butter, 14 oz sweetened condensed milk, and 1 cup cool whip), and then covered with the "Chocolate Ganache" recipe from this site. It is very rich but very very good!

Big hit! I prefer it with all chocolate chips instead of the cocoa, but it is great both ways! I also added a chocolate glaze as recommended in another review and it was great.

This wasn't too bad, though it's definitely not a "cake" in the way most people think of cake. Of course, if you take out a classic cake ingredient like flour, you really shouldn't expect to get the exact same results as you would get from a cake with flour. I used applesauce instead of butter to cut way down on the calories. Mine had a mousse-y fudge kind of texture. It was quite decadent. I used cocoa powder as directed, but my cake wasn't "gritty" as another reviewer described. It was perfectly smooth. Maybe it's because I used fresh cocoa powder and mixed the batter very well? I also used milk chocolate chips instead of semisweet. This cake is also difficult to get out of a pan (either whole or in slices) without breaking it into several pieces. It can be done, but it's not easy.

This was really easy and absolutely delicious. It was really rich and after taking it to a mothers day lunch, I cut up the rest into small pieces and put it in the fridge (as another reviewer suggested). Now it is kinda like fudge, yum! I also topped it with the satiny chocolate glaze from this site!

Great recipe...i modified it for a low-carb/no carb version and worked out great. First attempt I followed the variations noted from other members subbing 8 oz dark chocolate for cocoa and splenda for sugar...came out quite bitter so 2nd time around I used 4 oz Sorbee brand 0 carb milk choc and 4 oz Sorbee brand 0 carb dark chocolate and a full cup splenda rather than 3/4 and baked within individual well greased ramekins for about 25 minutes. Turned out WONDERFUL so rich and chocolately without the bitter tinge the previous had. Love this recipe. For what I can tell this would be 100% carb free as the chocolate is sweetened with 100% sugar alcohols and indicates 0 sugar carbs. Am I wrong? If anyone knows better please do comment as it would be great to know if this really is 100% net carb free. Thanks!

Unbelievably good! I read some other reviews before trying this and decided to double the chocolate and cut out the cocoa. Served it warm with raspberry sauce and it was fantastic.

Okay so I tried this recipe last night with the following modifications. I used the info from previous reviewers of substituting all chocolate for the cocoa. I also added the following adjustments for a low carb version with 8 oz unsweetened chocolate, and xylitol instead of sugar. I added 2 teaspoons of xylitol for each ounce of unsweetened chocolate before melting, and xylitol for the sugar in the rest of the recipe. I came out very dense and very thin. I think it would be better as a fudge tart with a pecan crust. I think I'm going to try this next time. I made a vanilla cream sauce for the cake and cut into circles with a cookie cutter to serve. Everyone loved it. Xylitol is the best sugar substitute; it bakes great and tastes better.
