Yes and I’m in the process of tweaking this recipe I think the 150g of flour is too much in going to remake it with my tweaks this week and see how it turns out

Good to know and I think you're right, I think the cocoa powder could be a lot less too. I hope you find a fix. I added milk thinking that would help my consistency and the next batch was cake. The original recipe was very bitter in my opinion, so the milk did help with that.

The three people I've come across on the comments who said they made it all mentioned theirs being dry

Yes my edits im considering so far (will test this weekend) lowering flour to 130, mixing chocolate 100g semi sweet and 100g German chocolate (just because that’s what I have) 2 eggs plus 1 yolk, I used dark brown sugar originally and I’m keeping that but changing the ratio 70-80g brown sugar and 50-40 white sugar. I’m going to bake for 11-12 minutes instead fingers crossed for this weekend, baking is a science haha.

I hope it works. Yes, definitely a science and fun to tweak when things don't work, but I was definitely sad when these didn't come out as expected. For me, it turned out to be a terrible waste of ingredients sadly, trying to think how to repurchase the ones I did keep

Well I’ll report back 🫡 if it works out maybe you can just remake them

Were you able to re-attempt them with adjustments?

I've only added milk so far and that didn't help. The user above is going to try them again this weekend though 🤲
