    It really wasn't that good. Kudos to the OP for creativity, but it was dry and bland. For the calories I'd rather have real cake!

    I actually liked it - just made it today but baked it shorter than the 40 minutes, more like 25-30 mins.

    My only problem is it's very dry and while I don't mind it not too sweet, my boyfriend will hate it. I may have to add sugar next time. Anyone know how to make it a bit more moist?

    Maybe add some applesauce into the batter? Some experimentation may be required here......

    That's what I was thinking. Next time I'll add some applesauce, thanks. :D

    Hmm doesn't carrot keep a carrot cake moist? Maybe some carrot or courgette? I'm not an expert baker so I'm not sure how these things work though!

    And give us an update. I'm curious as to how the modification works out for you.

    I will, thanks! I like it enough that I want to make it again. :)

    I will say that if we could make it more moist, it would be a better cake. But as is, I wasn't a fan.

    Update:

    Changes I made:

    I used 2 eggs and 2 egg whites (instead of 3 whites and 1 egg)
    I added 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce
    I added 1/4 cup white granulated sugar


    It's delicious!
    The sugar, even though it's just a little, gave it that added hint of sweetness and either the applesauce or the extra yolk made it a bit more moist!

    I love it. Though I did just eat a piece warm right out of the oven. Maybe it will dry out a bit when it cools?

    Anyway, as of right now it's totally worth making again. I like it quite a bit though it is kind of a lot of calories for a small piece. Maybe I can get less chocolate in next time?

    Here's the break down:

    Oh, forgot to mention - I only baked it for 25 minutes instead of the recommended time. 25 is plenty!
