I'm afraid mine came out dry and crumbled as well. I followed the recipe to a tee, I had to cook it an extra 10 mins as it wasn't cooked at 50 mins. I would attempt it again but I think it might need another egg to bind it. The flavour is great, cocoa is very drying so you need to add extra moisture to offset that dryness. I also find a spoon of coffee dissolved in the water brings an extra depth of flavour to the chocolate, as opposed to vanilla, coffee helps bring out the chocolate flavour from the cocoa.
No idea why but mine didn’t rise? It looks like a chocolate pancake and I can’t understand why as I followed the recipe exactly, except for only using 100g of sugar. Any ideas what went wrong? Also used a fan forced oven
Love this recipe, it's the only choc cake recipe I use, it's so simple to make yet moist! I use half the sugar too and still delicious!
Terrible cake. Dry and has no flavour. Not sure what went wrong but won't make it again. Even kids wouldn't eat it.
Great! Thanks
This was DELICIOUS!! I made them into small cake logs (in silicon moulds) and then iced with this recipe:

Reduced the sugar in the cake to 100g as was suggested below, and it was absolutely perfect, paired with the sweet buttercream icing. The mini chocolate cakes took around 20mins to cook.
