This was my first attempt at baking this type of cake. My cake came out in a few pieces! :( I saw that others suggested parchment on the bottom of the pan - and even Chef Puck himself suggests that on his website! Why would Food Network leave that part out? And I also noticed that he baked his for 45 minutes as opposed to the 1 hour and 15 minutes suggested on the recipe here on Food Network. Fortunately, mine wasn't burned but it still looks awful due to the pieces that fell off. Tasted a little piece though - it is ok... Oh well, better luck next time!
AMAZING

Great start for a moist and dense chocolate cake. I too followed advice of previous reviews and cooked for 40 minutes and used parchment paper. The cake really flattend after it cooled, but still was delicious. I served w/from scratch whipped cream and sprinkled w/cocoa powder. I will make it again and next time, I will bake two cakes and use either a tart raspberry filling between the layers or a chocolate glaze between. Must be served w/whipped cream to offset the richness of this cake. Entire dinner party loved and asked for seconds.

My boyfriend loves chocolate, so I made this for his birthday. It was great! Pretty easy to make if you have your ingredients ready before you start. I am definitely making this again.

Great recipe, just reduce the cooking time to 45 min. like everyone else said in their reviews. I am glad I took time to read the reviews before baking the cake. I also used a parchment paper circle on the bottom of my pan and it came out lovely.
silky smooth

this was wonderful. fortunately, i followed the tip of another reviewer and reduced the cooking time before i made this for dessert at easter with vanilla ice cream. everyone talked about how rich it was, and it didn't crack like the recipe said it would.
Very Good

This was my first flowerless cake and after reading a couple of the reviews I expected a brownie-like dessert. Based on that, it was I was quite surprised at the result because it's certainly lighter and not as sweet as a brownie; but it's not exactly a cake either. My family and I really liked it as we are all chocaholics and everyone had seconds. I did not have any parchment paper on hand, so I decided to use a round Pyrex plate and it came out perfectly, without breaking. I also used regular salted butter without a problem. It took 40 minutes to bake in my oven, so watch out the time. It's definitely a rich dessert, but it's not heavy on the palate or the stomach. I will definitely make it again. Thank you very much for Chef Puck's link, Greg! I went there for the original recipe.
RECIPE CURRENTLY POSTED IS INCORRECT

Shannon and Anna pegged it. Wolfgang Puck's website clearly lists cooking time of 45 min. and to use parchment. See link: http://www.wolfgangpuck.com/recipedetail.php?Alias=RE_WP0145 This would "fix" the problems noted by the low reviews. I'm glad I read the reviews prior to attempting this. If you like chocolate bricks, cook for over an hour. I cooked it prior to Shannon's post and used Anna's suggestion of 30 min. It was done "enough" for us (towards molten lava cake), but I thought it could go for another 10 min or so. That would explain the 45 min. posted on Wolfgang's site as our oven is a bit hot. I also used parchment as suggested by Barbara. I am a non-baking Dad, who made this for my wife's birthday cake. I would have to rate it as "easy" instead of "medium", since I was able to do it! It tasted great.
great for low carb.

I have been making this for a few years. I got the recipe from Wolfgang Puck's web site. On HIS website it says to bake for 45 minutes and also use parchment in the pan. I used a 9 inch pan and splenda and it came out great for the second time in a row.
cooking time way off

The recipe was pretty good. . . it needed something else. Maybe some Grand Marnier, or something. The recipe said 1h15- way too long! I think about 30 min is more like it. For those of you whose egg yolks clumped: if you add sugar to yolks and let them sit, the sugar will "burn" the yolks. Solution: whisk the sugar into the yolks just before you mix in the chocolate.

I found the cake easy to make and very good. I could have shortened the cooking time a by 10 minutes and it could have turned out a little more moist. I updated it with a choclate frosting of sweetend condensed milk, bittersweet chocolate, and 10x sugar.

While I was beating the egg whites I looked over and saw the yolk and chocolate mixture became clumpy and thick. It was hard to fold into the egg whites. It is in the oven now.

The only reason I gave it 3 stars was the fact that this was very easy to make. However, even after buttering and flouring the pan my cake still stuck to a nonstick pan and the cake didn't come out as one piece but instead in about 12. The taste of the cake was good. Reminds me too much of a brownie and brownies don't stick to the pan. If you are dying to make it, maybe think about parchment paper on the bottom of your pan just in case. I was very disappointed in this, especially since it came from a top notch chef.
very dry
