This recipe calls for 1 1/2 cups of flour divided, but in the instructions, it says to first add 1/2 cup, then the remaining 2 cups. This does not make any sense! Was it supposed to read 2 1/2 cups of flour, divided in the list of ingredients (that way you could add the remaining 2 cups), OR is 1 1/2 cups the correct amount of flour, and you add the remaining cup at the end????

Michelle, I know you said you make this cake often. It sounds very sweet, considering that it calls for 1 1/2 cups of sugar in addition to SEMI-Sweet chocolate (as opposed to regular unsweetened baking chocolate). Also, when you add the water, is it boiling water, hot water, room temperature water, or cold water? Jim
