Hi Raewyn,
Just wondering…does this give you a 3" high cake?
Thanks
Jo

Hi Jo, sure does. I usually do 3.5 -4 inch cakes though so I usually bake multple cakes at a time so I make up a few batches and divide the mix so I end up with quite tall cakes. Hope that made sense lol :) x

Oh Fiona! Thanks so much for that! It’s so nerve-wracking putting your recipes out there in case people say they’re rubbish! This has been such a consistent favourite of mine so I’m glad it will now be one of yours. Have you tried the Carmel Mud yet? It’s even yummier lol! Thanks again Lovely :) xx

Not tried Caramel Mud but certainly will!! My husband adores caramel. I posted your link to this recipe on my Facebook page last night and a lady has asked for the American measurements. I have used my converter and come up with this: If you are happy with this I will let that lady know. Hope that helps! x

That looks great Fi, i was surprised when I originally posted the recipes that a cup measurement is different all over the world so I just went with the weights. But if that’s what it would be in the US, thanks for doing the hard work for me haha! :) x

Thanks Fi….luckily it’s just a distant memory now, trying heaps of recipes and fiddling around until I was happy with them and they were consistent and most importantly fool-proof..with me being the fool in question haha! :) x

That sounds so yummy! Ladies I have a question. I have been asked several times for a chocolate cake. I have not come across a recipe where after I make it looks the same as for example the picture. It always come out so much lighter in color. Can any og you give a recipre for a chocolate mud cake? I guess I am using the wrong kind of chocolate. Also when I am aske for a mocha or amaretto flavored I have used the creamer (coffee creamers) the taste is yummy but do u ladies use something else? Any suggestions? Love this site there is so much info and everyone always helps!

Thank you so much!

I do not know what you mean by caster sugar….what is it? I am in Canada. Thank you in advance for elkightening me! :-)

Hi, made this just yesterday and tasted fab although it gave a 4cm cake (with crust top in tact) and it was so doughy inside I couldn’t really use it for a wedding cake as it looked raw (it was cooked for an extra 15 mins too) any suggestions what I have done wrong? Been baking for years now and never had this prob, is it supposed to look like that? Cheers x

Hi Rae,
I just wanted to let you know I made this cake last week! What a hit, it was lovely, I put some raspberry coulis with it too, but you could still taste that wonderful white chocolate.
Thanks again for sharing your recipe!

Your cake sounds delish! Are there any issues with doubling or tripling the recipe? Thanks!
