Just made it and loved it! Moist, chocolate goodness. Just what the doctor ordered! Can’t believe there is no milk, eggs or butter in this cake. I didn’t have heavy cream for the icing, so used my half and half with a pad of butter, to add a little more umpf… it is a little runny, but still delicious :-)…. Love that is is a single layer cake, so you don’t feel guilty.. oh yeah, just a little to satisfy the urge.

Thanks Renee, for sharing this nice comment! 🙂
Ro says
Can I use the same batter for making cupcakes ?
Lidia Simic says
Hi Ro, I haven’t tried but I think it would be good. Good luck!
Elizabeth Lube says
This looks so beautiful! And I’m sure, quite delicious. Any suggestions to substitute an all purpose GF flour?
Lidia Simic says
Hi Elizabeth, this is recipe for 4 cups gluten free flour mix:
1C white rice flour
1 C oat flour
1 C coconut flour
1 C tapioca flour/starch
¼ C cornstarch
3½ tsp. xantham gum
Combine all ingredients together and make sure they are mixed well. Store in an airtight container and use as flour in any baking recipe. Good luck and enjoy!
Lori Teague says
There seems to be a step missing from the directions. Pour the batter in the pan and bake 20-25 minutes until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
For chocolate topping:
In a medium saucepan stir together cream, chocolate and sugar on low heat until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Cool and spread over the cake and place back in fridge until the topping has set.
Garnish with chocolate curls (optional) and orange slices
It says to spread the topping over the cake and place BACK in fridge. When was what in the fridge?? Is the cake supposed to be refrigerated after you take it out of the pan? When do you take it out of the pan? After it is cooled all the way? I’m going to have to do this blind because I just put the cake in the oven. I’m not an experienced baker and hope I do things right.
Lidia Simic says
Hi Lori, the cake don’t need to be in the fridge when you move it from the pan. You need to make topping and just pour it over the cake and then place it in fridge. Good luck!
Judy says
I have noticed that when I don’t keep this cake in the fridge it starts to grow mold if not eaten in a few days. So, I think it does need to be stored in the fridge if its not eaten right away after cooking it.
Mere Pene says
Hi .. This cake looks yummy but I have a question Can I use Superfine sugar other name Caster sugar?
Lidia Simic says
Hi Mere, in fact it’s really nothing more than granulated sugar that has been ground to a super-fine consistency. I haven’t tried but i think you can use it. Good luck!
Angie says
can i make this with wholemeal flour? im unable to have white flour
Lidia Simic says
Hi Angie, i haven’t made it with wholemeal flour but i think you can use it. Good luck!
Judith says
I used whole wheat pastry flour, and baked the cake in a 8” springform Pan. After it cooled, I put the icing on top and refrigerated it. When I was ready to serve, I removed the ring and the ganache stood up high. Beautiful.
Catie says
Are you supposed to flip this out of the pan before you pour the glaze on top? In seems liquidy in the center still after baking for 25 minutes
Lidia Simic says
Hi Catie, you don’t need to flip it out of the pan before you pour the glaze on the top. Oven baking times may vary so you can bake it a few minutes longer or check with toothpick to make sure it comes out clean. Good luck and enjoy!
Jennifer says
Hi, this looks lovely and I am just trying to figure out how to adjust it for a layered birthday cake. Is it too moist to double the recipe and stack two layers?
Thanks!
Lidia Simic says
Hi Jennifer, you can double the recipe, I have tried doubled and tripled the recipe for major layering and decorate with the favorite frosting. Good luck and enjoy!
Rachel G says
This looks delicious! If I wanted to make it in a bundt cake pan, about how long do you think I should bake it?
Can’t wait to try it!
Lidia Simic says
Hi Rachel, Of course you can make this as bundh cake, bake on middle rack of oven for 25-30 minutes. Check with toothpick to make sure it comes out clean. Oven baking times may vary, be sure to check your cake to make sure you do not over bake. Enjoy!

I made it once and it turned out amazing! However, now I cannot remember if you are able to use use olive oil instead of vegetable oil? Thank you?
