The conversion from cups to grams seem odd. Also oven temp and times need to be clarified. Mine turned out fine with a very fudgy centre. I used cup measurements. It certainly didn’t need 1 1/2 hours cooking time at 160 fan oven. Nice easy fudgy cake. But please could someone adjust the recipe!
Great recipe

Prev submitted form apparently failed to capture, and I can't be bothered typing it all again. Recipe needs clarification about oven temps and cake tin sizes. I was unhappy with the result. Submitting this brief version so you can fix, or at least warn others before wasting time and quality ingredients.
