Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Grease a 20 x 30cm tin, then line with baking parchment. Beat the butter, flour, sugar, baking powder, eggs, yogurt, milk and vanilla until lump-free. Stir in the chopped chocolate. Spoon into tin; bake for 25-30 mins until golden and risen and a skewer comes out clean. Cool in the tin.

  • step 2

    Melt the rest of the chocolate. Stir icing sugar into soft cheese, then the chocolate until smooth. Chill, spread over the cake, then cut into squares and decorate.

I used the exact size tin mentioned and thankfully checked on this after 35 mins as it was ready. I suspect that several people used a tin that was slightly smaller (standard is 23*23 cm) and that’s where the extra 15 min came from. Sponge looks fine but it’s not cooled yet

Baking time took 15 minutes longer than stated and icing was extremely soft. Topped mine with jelly beans, and the taste was a hit for those with a sweet tooth

I followed the recipe exactly, but although skewer came out cleanly after 30 minutes, it was very greasy and stodgy when cooled Very disappointed.

This was a very good cake although the recipe needs some adjustments. The cooking time is way out. Mine took about an hour. Also, there is too much sugar. As there is white chocolate in the recipe, I used 200g of sugar and it was still slightly too sweet. Topped with giant chocolate buttons.
