I've been baking for 30 years so I also questioned the baking powder. I just put this in the oven using HALF the amount of baking powder & the full amount of baking soda. I'll finish this review when the cake comes out (or explodes all over my oven whichever comes first lol). Ok, finished the cake. It DID work with the adjustments made to the leavening. Use half the b.powder, full amount of soda. Review of the cake though.... kinda bland & dry.

What was ever resolved with the baking powder, I just made it and it is a mess all over the bottom of the oven...Makes me angry when I used my best chocolate and it was for an event tonight, not useable.

I tried this recipe after reading comments from dianemb2 saying she questioned the amount of baking powder, but the recipe came out OK. I had the same problem as Jo, the cake overflowed the pan. Good thing I took the precaution of putting a tray underneath to contain the mess. I let the cake finish cooking, but it wasn't servable--baked onto the pan where it overflowed, sunken and sticky in the middle. Is the amount for the baking powder supposed to be 1 tsp instead of 1 Tbsp?

I made this for my recipe club and it was a hit. The glaze was delicious! Our store was out of kumquats, and I used sliced up clementines instead of tangerines. I also used canned whole cranberries. It is a pain to break up the chocolate but otherwise an easy recipe.
