I have used this one that I found off here some time ago; ROASTING DISH CHOCOLATE CAKE...
MIX: 3 cups flour, 1 & 1/2 tsp salt, 3/4 tsp baking powd, 1 & 1/2 tsp baking soda, 2 & 2/3 cup sugar, 1 cup & 2 tbsp cocoa. Add to the dry ingr: 1 cup + 2 tbsp water, 1 cup + 2 tbsp oil. Mix for 1 minute. then add: 5 eggs, 3/4 cup water and 1 & 1/2 tsp vanilla ess. Combine everything mix for about 2 mins (or until combined), bake in a lined and greased roasting dish for approx 1/2 hour at 180 deg. Check with skewer if it looks done, ice with chocolate butter icing, .
Or just search all the old listings for more roasting dish sized cakes.

I'm probably going to sound like a total blonde, but there are so many different sized roasting dishes, please can you give me the measurements of the dish you used for this recipes? Many thanks!!

I would make it twice and join them together with choc butter icing or ganache. I'm making one for my brothers engagement. Going to make 2 with butter icing in between then covered in ganache with choc shards around outside then a ribbon wrapped around. choc curls and bright coloured fake gerbers (if thats how you spell it) on top.
