I just tried to make this cake and it was a DISASTER!!!! I am very good at baking I chose this one cos I wanted a moist chocolate cake. Silly me I chose this cos it does not say anything about egg or something else for the dough being more running or liquid. I made several times cakes without egg just milk and vinegar to give fluffiness to the dough, but this was one was the worst. I started with the liquid ingredients then I started adding my dry ones and all the flour was flying away out of the bowl. So I decide to add some eggs, added 2, and the dough was like a rock. At the end, I throwed everything away cos I was wasting my time and my ingredients. This recipe did not work for me! - 30 May 2015
