My wife baked this cake twice now. Not a cake fan myself nor a chocolate fan but this is DEVINE!

Hi Rangeeta, someone had voiced similar concerns as well, which I have replied to (a few comments above yours). If you prefer, you can probably cut out some of the sugar without drastically altering the end result.

Hi Bodhigram! I checked the recipe again, and it is as it says in the book. When I made this, I didn’t recall having an issue with sweetness. The sugar content is probably comparable to what you’d get in a brownie. If you’re keen to make this, I’m sure it wouldn’t be too much of a problem if you wanted to cut out some of the sugar.

Was reading your recipe and was wondering Isn’t the sweet content too high? There are two kinds of chocolate plus the sugar.
