I've made this cake three times now, the last two I made I only used half the amount of sugar listed and it was still sweet enough!! Brilliant chocolate cake!! - 06 Oct 2012
So easy, totally scrumy and "hidden oats", however next time I will try and reduce sugar, sub with fruit? Keeps well too! Thanks for sharing! - 25 Sep 2012
Nice recipe and easy to make, Im not sure what the oats add though. I used about half the sugar based on the reviews and it turned out ok - 14 Jul 2013
