I made this for one of my friends on his birthday and he enjoyed every bite of it...along with the guests! It was so rich and chocolaty but it had a brownie texture which I think made it seem even more rich. I followed the recipe exactly, except I baked it in a springform pan. I will definitely make this recipe again, especially if I feel like indulging.

Deliciously rich and wonderful! A very easy recipe, not daunting for the non-baker like me. A hit -- looks and tastes a lot more impressive than it really is! A couple of notes: 1) I just melted butter and chocolate together in a pot on low heat, no double boiler; 2) mine crumbled into pieces when it came out of the pan, despite greasing and powdering with cocoa. I solved this problem by icing with Hard Chocolate Glaze from this site. Totally hid the problem. I also dipped some strawberries in this glaze.

okay....so this cake is very FLAT....which is to be expected from one without flour I guess. :) it looks BEAUTIFUL though, an I just took a nibble off the dge and it tastes awesome too! So, make this cake if you want to impress, but don't make it if you want a huge, enormous cake....

Decadent, rich tasting, makes an elegant fisnish with a caramel sauce to an adult meal-I added some grand marnier to give it that extra something.

This dessert is THE BEST here on allrecipes in my opinion (and I have tried many here). Bake this in an 8" springform pan which has been coated with butter-flavored cooking spray, then dusted with sifted cocoa evenly. Use the 60% cocoa Ghirardelli bittersweet bar (it is 4oz.) to make this a dessert of quality. Top slices with the "Hot Fudge Sauce II" recipe here on allrecipes, except change that recipe to include only half of the evaporated milk suggested & add a little extra powdered sugar (and a little sifted cocoa) to the sauce to further thicken it up (I used melted black forest truffles for the hard chocolate called for in the sauce). To serve, place on slice on a plate, pour on some hot fudge, put a dollop of vanilla ice-cream on top, then more hot fudge, a few raspberries and a mint leaf. Beautiful & the richest chocolate dessert I have found EVER.

I made this because my friend's dog died, and they needed comfort food, but i didn't have any flour around the house. well, i didn't have any chocolate around, so instead i used the baking cocoa with oil sub listed on the container. it's 3 T cocoa for 1 T oil=1 oz baking chocolate. well i ended up using 3/4 c cocoa and 1/4 c oil to make the full 4 oz. because it was the unsweetened cocoa, it needed alot more sugar but i didn't add enough at all. so to make up for that i tried to make a really sweet frosting, and it helped with the bitterness. i made these in muffin cups, and they turned out like little round brownies, like the kind you can buy at the store. they were really good, but i think they taste more like brownies than like a cake.

This recipe is fantastic! We poured it into a cupcake pan instead of a cake pan, made a simple choclate ganache (heat up cream or half & half and stir into chocolate chips) and created restaurant-quality chocolate lava cakes. I highly recommend trying this recipe!

YUMMY! This is the first review I've given--this is SO yummy. We have a friend with a daughter recently diagnosed with celiac disease, so I baked this cake this afternoon for their family. I had planned to make our family one, also, but forgot to buy more butter. The cake smelled SO good--and my 10-year old sampled a tiny piece before I could tell him not to. He was checking the cocoa powder, hoping it had wheat in it, so we could keep the cake! I tasted a tiny bit, also--so, here are my conclusions: I used milk chocolate chips (1/2 cup) because this family only likes milk chocolate. I then reduced the sugar to 1/2 cup, because of the sweeter chocolate. I also added a dash of kosher salt, and a tiny sprinkle of cinnamon (I always use cinnamon with chocolate). I baked it in a disposable pie pan, because I never remember to get my dishes back from friends. It came out beautifully, and it is a very moist, dense chocolate cake-ish thing. It has a much finer texture than cake, and is smooth and dense, but isn't gooey like undercooked brownies are. So easy--definitely worth a try.

When my boyfriend and his family came over, I made this. It was quite a success because we are both in love with chocolate.

delicious! This is my stepmum's favourite dessert right now and she doesn't like chocolate! It's EXTREMELY rich and very shallow. I recommend doubling the mix for a normal looking cake, but then again, its so dense that maybe it's good to keep it short. I used Splenda and Cadburys Lite Chocolate.

This cake is for serious chocolate lovers ONLY! I used extra dark chocolate and unsweetened cocoa powder, but added an extra 1/4 cup of sugar to compensate. Not only is it delicious, but it's super easy - even non-bakers can whip it up and look like they know what they're doing.

Absolutely delicious!! I used 2 eggs and one egg white. A bit less sugar too. I made nine cup cake sized (perfectly shaped), but could have made 12 and would've been perfect. These are very, very rich, so MUST be served with something to balance the richness--I served with vanilla bean icecream and raspberry sauce. I buttered the pans really well and coated with cocoa, and they came out w/out a problem. Much like the chocolate domes served at PFChangs!! YUMMO!

I made this recipe for a Passover Seder. I think it came out just as it was supposed to, and it was very good...tasted exactly like undercooked brownies...but I wouldn't say it was the "end-all, be-all" dessert. I served it with fresh strawberries and whipped cream. Would I make it again? Possibly, since it was very easy and fairly inexpensive to make. But, as far as taste goes, I'm still looking for a Passover dessert that has that "Wow" factor.

One of the Easiest recipes Ive ever made! Did the whole thing in one bowl too. Made it in a spring form pan as others had suggested. Didnt find the cake dry at all it was very moist. I dont like an over load of chocolate so i used fresh whipping cream for the 'frosting' and drizzled White Chocolate Mocha frosting from this site. garnished with white chocolate shavings. Everyone raved.

Although it came out looking a little iffy, this cake was great tasting. Be sure to make sure the chocolate is cooled before adding the eggs, or in the end there will be bits of scrambled egg on top of the cake.
