Negative Positive
Title: Not recommended
Review: If you like the idea of using Mary Bergin's recipes, try to get them off the internet. I made the chocolate truffle cake off a Food Network recipe (she was a guest chef) and it worked out very well. I tried to make it again using this book and it did not work.For the marble pound cake, the instructions indicated that a double recipe would work in a 10 inch bundt. There was way too much batter - so much that it would not even fit in the pan so I used about 2\3 of the batter. Also, the instructions called for twice the amount of cocoa in the chocolate part than should be suggested. If I had used the suggested amount, I would have had pound cake mixed with brownies. Finally, the temperature suggested was too high for a cake that dense. The top burned and the center was raw when I removed it from the oven. There are serious deficiencies in this book - I suggest you find another chocolate recipe resource.
