Honest verdict.
If anyone is remotely interested - I personally would not use ground almonds in the cake mix , it makes it very dry. I would use a third of the chocolate, but I went with Mis Berry's recipe, far too much and makes it far too expensive as well.
We have had some slices of the cake with tea and coffee but I suddenly had a brain wave the other night and thought Rum Baba , do you recall those, I soaked a couple of slices in Rum, double cream (well if you are going to have a heart attack you may as make it worthwhile) (said with tongue in cheek). and we had it as a dessert.
Would I make again - honestly no.
