“I made this yesterday. Wasn't at all difficult. 1 question - is it supposed to have an almost pudding consistency in the middle? It's really good! Just the thing for us women who need chocolate in our stressful lives! I even gave some to my 2 neighbor ladi” — a cook, 5.0★
“Really good for a regular cake and just incredible for a gluten-free dessert. The middle was super fudge-y, which a few of the other reviews prepared me for. The middle seeming to be almost underdone made me a touch nervous, but the flavor and texture were so ” — a cook, 5.0★
