This was super easy and perfect for a cold day. I subbed two Lindt chocolate balls and frozen berries. The cake didn’t really rise, but that might have been a result of my frozen raspberries. It was delish anyway!

I was afraid this would be too sweet but the taste was perfect. I used sour cherries and would have liked more of them. The one mistake I made was to use coarse salt, because it was right there, and it did not have time to dissolve completely and mix in evenly.

Mine came out chewy and hard instead of cake. Overcooked? Any idea of how much white chocolate by weight?

Oh no! Did you use white baking chips or white chocolate? I don't have an exact weight on the chocolate and usually just eyeball it. But if you used chips, the added stabilizers might have affected the texture of the cake. That said, it might have just been overcooked. It usually takes the full 90 seconds in my microwave for the cake to be cooked through, but you might start with 30 seconds and go from there.

You're very quick to criticise the recipe Leslie, maybe you should be assessing your baking skills :)

Having a bad day? Please check your reading comprehension skills. No criticism of recipe was made. Instead, help with problem solving was requested

I think the phrase 'no criticism of THE recipe' was what you meant there Leslie. I have a list of local adult english courses in the US if you want any help :)

Why won't white chocolate chips work?

Hey Julia! It's just a matter of how they melt. White baking chips typically contain partially hydrogenated oil (usually palm kernel oil) and no cocoa butter, which makes it harder for them to melt together with the oil, and then makes them recrystallize into firm bits instead of staying melty.
