Alina0210 - I made it today...  its actually for morning tea tomorrow but i had to have a slice. It's really nice.. very moist and soft, not heavy like a mud cake. A slight white chocolate taste and overall a really nice cake. Will be making it again.. yum..

cookie - I think/know I made it in too large a tin so it only took 35 minutes to cook. I found it quite tasty and the texture very uniform (as in most TMX cakes). I think I'll put a cream cheese frosting on it for tonight. Next time I'll use a 20 cm cake tin.

I made this yesterday for our TMX party tonight. I think/know I made it in too large a tin so it only took 35 minutes to cook.
