The cake looks pretty good and tasty.
I have a small question though I'm pretty sure I have the answer to it...350deg is degrees F not C right? I was a bit shocked to hear that someone bakes cakes at 350deg and then figured that it's probably in deg F...(I wasn't what kind of super cool oven you had, but your oven looks so bright and shiny that I'm kinda jealous now :P)
Oh, and one more thing...if one does not have a beater, is it ok to use double cream (aka heavy cream)?
I shall try make this cake when I have time! :D

That looks good.

I don't know why people put chocolate drizzle on the plate (besides to make it look good). I always have to.. lick it off. :O
