I thought you're never supposed to mix water with chocolate or the chocolate will seize up. Thats why you have to be so careful when melting chocolate in a double boiler as to not get any water into the chocolate. How does this work with a cup of water????

Is this glaze dark chocolate tasting or just dark chocolate in appearance. I do not like dark choc., how would I change it to be milk choc. in taste?

Just use milk chocolate instead of semi sweet chocolate.

I'm certain that my measurements were accurate and that my oven temp is is right on target, so I will increase the liquid next time. Using the measurements here, the batter is very very stiff and the resultinig cake is very heavy. I was expecting a texture like a pound cake, but this one is far more dense. Great chocolate flavor saved the day though.

@ Chef 3881457 - We have removed the image from this recipe. @mary2 - We double checked the recipe and it calls for 1/4 cup of water, but you may need to adjust depending on your oven. I hope your cake turned out well! -Rachel, an Editor for RecipeLion.com

I have found that the picture is not always of the recipe shown. A little confusing I agree!

Would you check the quantity of water in the recipe to see whether it is accurate? The batter is very stiff, and most pudding-in-the-cake recipes call for a cup of water, so I wondered. It's in my oven now, so time will tell.

Where is the crust for this recipe??? The picture shows a crust but there is no mention of one in the recipe. In many ways the picture and recipe do not match. Which is right? the picture or the recipe. If it's the recipe, please put the correct picture with it.
