Thank dear be Blessed.
This looks so delicious. I would love to use this recipe to make cupcakes. How long do you think they would need to bake for?
Wow! Best cake ever! how long does it last?
Hello. Thank you so much for sharing! How long does this cake last once covered in buttercream and sugarpaste? Thank you!
You are a great teacher❤️wil definately try n tag u😘😘😘
Looks amazing, I will definitely try it. I have a question, where did you buy your cake tins (is it 6x2 or 6x3) ? Thank you!
I like how you combine your melted butter with the chocolate together... very convenient way of adding the two ingredients. The batter consistency looks perfect, however I believe 180 degrees is very high for such small cakes and 45 minutes is far too long; that's why your sponges appear to be very dry...
I love your cake tutorials! :) just want to know if I will use cocoa instead of dark choclate, how many will I need? And will there be a slight change in the recipe? :)
Well done! A down to earth,layman's language guide. Really enjoyed making this cake. I hope you don't mind my suggesting a written recipe that can be printed for all your cakes
so I don't have to keep stopping and starting the videos😜
Hi Marnee, I am so glad you like the recipe and enjoyed making the cake, this is one of my favourites. Thank you so much for suggesting the written recipe that can be printed out, this is a great idea.

Hey,, your channel is Amazing , I'm new into baking ,so my query might be basic 😁, how did you prepare that milk chocolate cover which you used to cover in middle layer of the cake?
Brilliant! What would the quantities be if I wanted to make a larger cake? Thanks

Can you use coloured chocolate for dripping cakes instead of using food colouring

HI Zuzana, Yes the cake tins that I used are 16cm or 6 inch cake tins.
Can i use milk instead of soured cream
Can Stoke be used instead of butter?
Can you use normal dark chocolate or does it have to be 70%
Hi what size eggs do you use pls?
Hi! I'm from Philippines. Since i don't have oven, can i use microwave instead?
There are allot of mug cakes videos that you could make in the microwave , but this cake you cannot. :(
Hi Lynz. Can you make chocolate mint cake with this recipe? Replace the vanilla with mint ?
Hi Lilian, Yes definitely. I think that would be really yummy.
Can I use curd instead of sour cream?
do i need the sour cream for this recpie? is it essential
Hi is this large or medium eggs?
Hi there, I have made this recipe 3 times and followed your instructions to the tee and it always comes out of the oven with a sunken middle. do you have any thoughts as to what is going wrong?
Hi. I have this exact same issue. Not opening my oven, using the right size tin, all ingredients in date etc. I’m wondering if there baking soda AND baking powder is too much… I might try again with just baking powder and see what happens. Did you have any luck with this one in the end?
This just happened to me too ! Did you find out the cause ? 😢
Is this cake covered with smashed ganache?
What is soured fresh cream ? I’ve never heard of that ? Can you help pls
Fathima Chocpie sour cream
Is it card?
First
Did you freeze the cakes before cutting them
Hi Barke, I had the cakes in the fridge so they were very cold before cutting them. This makes them easier to cut. They will then return to room temperature and be soft and moist. I hope this helps.
Hi please can you tell me the amount for 8" square please
Hi Lyndsey.....do you have ingredient quantities for an 8 inch cake please
found your conversion chart! Thank you
Have you used plain chocolate in the cake or dark? In the description it says plain.... thanks
Hi Madia, For the cake I used dark chocolate. In the UK dark and plain chocolate are the same thing, they just sometimes call them by the different names. The dark / plain chocolate that I used has 70% cocoa, so as long as it has that it will be fine to use. I hope this is ok.
CakesbyLynz oh I didn’t realise, thank you so much for the response. Love your channel so helpful
can i use yogurt if i dont have sour cream?
Just made this cake it’s sunk in the middle though ?
Mine has just done the same 🤷♀️
@@janettejones2125 ive seen a few comments that its sunk in the middle its put me right off trying it she doesn't even reply to these comments, ive been following Anna olson she is a master at baking she is also on youtube check her recipe out.
@@michellewhite6992 thank you. I will have a look 😊
@@janettejones2125 she is a Canadian pastry chef she makes savoury and sweet bakes her chocolate beetroot cake is to die for ive made it yummy.
+CakesbyLynz can you measure in cups? Thank you
What is soured cream?
Could you put the ingredients in cups and teaspoon and tablespoon please
My cake was not done in the middle but very crusty on the outside. What did I do wrong?
Hi, Did you use a fan oven setting when baking the cake? This tends to bake the outside of a cake a lot faster than the inside, resulting in the outside being crusty and the middle not baking as fast. I always use a normal oven setting for all my cakes.
What is sour cream
Can we use butter milk instead of sour cream??
Hi Amna, Yes that should be fine, but buttermilk does have a higher water content to Soured cream so you may need to test it to get the correct amount as soured cream tends to be a little thicker.
By soured cream do you mean sour cream on its own or something else? No snark. Honest question. I think it may be the difference in the language.
Hi John, Yes I think these are exactly the same. There are so many different ingredients that are called something different in different parts of the world.
@@CakesbyLynz Thank you very much for responding. Is greatly appreciated.
How can I convert this to a 8"? Your size chart is way too complicated to follow.
I made this today....but the middle of the cakes sunk in
Storage?
