Probably less stressful for you to bake the cake today so there is plenty of time for it to cool fully. My chocolate cake recipe is at the link below - it's a nicely textured simple chocolate cake, not overly rich (good to go with buttercream). The quantities given make a generous 25cm round cake, which I usually cook in two layers as it cooks faster so the edges stay softer. If you want a 20-22cm round cake just cut the quantities in half. :-)
This one here is very nice moist and fudgy. You can not go wrong with it.
Mels Secret Chocolate Cake Recipe 2 Cups of water 3 Cups of caster sugar 250gm butter 1/3 Cup cocoa 1 teaspoon of baking soda
3 Cups of self raising flour 4 eggs lightly beaten
Combine water, sugar, butter ,cocoa, & soda in a large pot. Stir over medium heat without boiling until sugar is dissolved. Simmer for 5 minutes uncovered. Cool for 10 minutes. Mix in flour and eggs and beat til smooth. Pour into a lined roasting dish and bake for 50 minutes at 160c.
Check at 40 minutes. Stand for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.
