"I seem to be the odd one out, but I found this recipe bland and boring. My boyfriend took one bite and made a face. He's big on flavor and this is totally lacking. I got all of the ingredients, followed the recipe to a T and even splurged on authentic marsala and it was a total disappointment. If you like big bold flavors, this one is not for you. "

"Don't even waste your time on this one. Chocolate and flour mix had a difficult time folding into the eggs. I folded for nearly 10 minutes and the battter still looked questionable and lumpy (maybe the flour mix should have been sifted in a little at a time). I baked as is once the batter started to look darker. The baking time was nearly double what was recommended. Once the cake came out of the oven I turned it out and tasted a piece that was left over on the pan. It was not edible. It was gummy and did not even taste like chocolate. My boyfriend eats anything and one bite of this and he made a face. It went right into the trash. Good thing I didn't make the ganache.
