Pauls Chocolate Cake timings
Hello, I have just made a 6″ round recipe up of the chocolate cake, scald down using the reckoner which was fab! I have put it in the oven at 130 as recommended on this page but wonder if anyone knows how long I should expect it to bake for? Thank you 🙂

Thank you for the reply. I had already baked it, it took just under 2 hours at 130 and when I took it out it was reasonable level and only a small crack in the top. I wrapped it and left it overnight and when I unwrapped it this morning it was slightly sunken in the middle but only slightly- nothing huge! I have used ganache to fill and coat it (for the first time) following Pauls tutorial. It was very easy to follow and I have got great results. All in all a good result. All down to the tasting now!

Hi mrsymo
The recipe for a 6″ should bake up in around 1hr 20mins – 1hr 30 mins but since all ovens vary I would suggest keeping and eye and nose on the cake. I usually look through the oven glass door to see whether the centre looks set, a good indicator is a crusty surface and cracks in the crust.
If you have already baked it, it would be great to receive your timings feedback. Thank you.
Hope this helps.
Oh heck you’ve made my mouth water Yvonne! but thank you sooo much for taking the time to feedback, it’s much appreciate. Enjoy, yummieeee x
