There is something about a flourless chocolate cake that makes it so damn easy to eat. This is one of my fallback favourites for pudding when I have friends over for supper.

I've made this cake numerous times, and it's really really really good. Everybody loves it. If I don't have limes, I substitute with orange juice and zest. People remark that it tastes like a rich chocolatey jaffa. Ditto for the margarita cream- I use cointreau, orange juice and a little drop of vanilla (if I don't have limes). Everybody loves both: the lime and the orange version. Ps I've found that if you test the cake and there is a little gunge on the cake tester, don't panic and overcook the cake as the cake further sets when you take it out of the oven.

I have made this one 4 times now and it has gained me much praise!!! I adore anything with limes and I love the subtle lime taste through the chocolate. My tip from the 4 I have made....don't microwave the chocolate and butter in a ceramic bowl - it kept too much heat and wrecked the chocolate. Once I stuck to a trusty battered old plastic bowl I was safe! xx

What a taste explosion, the margarita cream is so citrusy and zingy. Make sure you use dark chocolate to match the zing of the cream. I did get a bit carried away with the lime because I had lots in my kitchen so, I would stick to Nigella's measurements next time.

I made this and substituted the ground almonds for 120g of gluten free plain flour as the person I made it is celiac and allergic to nuts. Cooked it for 40mins and even thought it cracked on the top whilst in the oven, it was so moist and got demolished by my guests in seconds. And that cream, I stuck to the recipe, my goodness it's delicious!!!!! Also, I dusted it with hot chocolate powder and then finely grated like zest over the top. It looked fantastic!

I made this with dairy-free spread and a sugar substitute for an allergy sufferer and it was absolutely amazing!

I simply love it! I have made it twice. The lemon margarita cream makes the cake so unique and light and yummy! I always separate the batter into two tins to bake, and put cream in between carefully when assembling it to make a bit posh. (Well, not really posh haha) I use any liquor I have.
