A while ago I made a really nice chocolate cake from a recipe on here, and I lost the piece of paper! It was a really huge mixture (oven dish size) and was really runny too. Does anyone have it!

was it this one.the famous evorotorua cake; I prefer it without the bananas.
Chocolate Yoghurt Banana Cake *An easy no fail recipe
2 cups sugar 200gms butter or margarine 3 cups self raising flour 2eggs 2 tsp baking soda 1/2 cup cocoa 1/4 tsp salt 2 mashed bananas 1+ 1/2 tsp vanilla essence 1 cup plain yoghurt 1 cup boiling water *add last*
Place all ingredients into a large bowl, pouring the boiling water over the butter or margarine to melt it. Mix all ingredients together to combine and that’s it! Pour into a largespring form tin, roasting dish or into muffin cups. Bake as a large cake for around 1hr 10mins, at 180c or in muffin cases 10-12 minutes.
You can also use flavoured berry yoghurt if desired.
Ice with chocolate butter icing. can also be split thru and filled with a choc butter creamicing, dust top with sifted icing sugar. *makes a large cake or around 25 extra large cup cakes* *Cake freezes well*
This recipe I use time and time again.awesome!

Put all ingredients (except for the water) in a large bowl mix well to a batter. add boiling water and mix till smooth bake in the over at 160 for 1hr. you can split the mix and make two smaller cakes or make 1 smaller cake and put the rest into muffin tins the choice is completely up to you. this is an excellent cake if you have a large family or just want to impress people. gets moister by the day so stays nice and fresh very simular to mud cake.
