lumpy mess!December 18, 2007By bredadavis
"when i mixed the flour to the hot choc mix it went lumpy and the cake had lumps of flour in it when baked. It is not clear whether i should have waited for it to go cold before adding the flour or was i supposed to whisk the mixture with electric whisk. i was very dissapointed with the instructions on the recipe and after all the hard work i was left with lovely ingredients wasted on a lumpy cake. into the bin with this one i'm afraid!"
