Lovely moist cake with a soft milk chocolate taste. Definitely try this if you're a milk chocolate aficionado! I used 250 g of Panda's milk chocolate for the candy bars (well, 240 g, I ate some first... ;-) - my absolute favourite milk chocolate-wise! I also omitted the pecans as I wanted a smooth, crunch-free cake this time. Cake tested done after 1 hour 15 minutes, and I found it sooo hard to wait for it to cool down!! Yum! Next time I'll reduce the amount of sugar just a bit to let the chocolate taste shine through more, and stick to my no pecans approach - just a personal preference! Thanks for sharing the recipe, Recipe Fairy!
