It's definitely the best I've ever made. You'll need some whipped cream/mascapone to serve with it to prevent chocolate overload.

No it's a Gordon Ramsay one I think it's called gooey chocolate cake

We have tried many and all swear by Mr Bad Examples choc yoghurt cake - I use Green & Blacks cocoa and for decadence fill it and top it with choc buttercream. The thread is on the front page of OS ATM

HTH

Thanks! It's not that chocolatey as it is, to be honest, but I can imagine the addition of filling and topping would make it pretty fab. I've never bothered.

Please post pictures of your finished cake!

What effect does the vinegar have on it, do you use malt, white, cider or what...be interested to hear about the result

i use malt because thats usually what i have in (and thats what i remember using as a kid). it doesn't taste at all of vinegar, is just a yummy scrummy sticky cake.

Hi melie,

I don't think it was ever a sticky, but you should find a recipe to suit you on this thread so I've added your post to it to keep all the recipes together.
