CORRECTION!!!!
I checked with a family member concerning the Chocolate Lush cake recipe.
There is 3/4 Cup Sugar in the syrup mix.
The correct portions:
3-4 Tbs Cocoa
3/4 Cup sugar
1 and 3/4 Cup Hot water.
So sorry for the confusion and big THANK YOU to the person who got me to thinking/worrying and alerted me to my error.
