Thanks Hooksie60 for that recipe l made it and cut it in half and froze half and then had to get it out a couple of days later when the first lot vanished, lol. Yes it is a lovely moist recipe and everyone loved it. l got lots of comments about how moist and tasty it was.

I make that one too! Not too much sugar, especially if your icing it as well :O)

Have just made No1's cake. Turned out very large. I am going to take it to work for morning tea tomorrow. If it tastes as good as it looks it will be a big hit.

This is a FAB recipe, so moist and scrummy! Beware it is large though :)

... I make this cake regularly too... I use self raising flour instead and leave out the baking powder and I only use 2. 5 cups of sugar because the icing I put on the cake is sweet enough...
Turns out perfect every-time... It's the best!

I made it for a friend's b'day and it got rave reviews from everyone - including visiting Italians who thought it was the best cake ever! Thank you hooksie60 :-)
By the way, I made a large cake and had enough for 12 muffins (and they are the richest & softest muffins ever! )

do you need baking soda in this cake? My DH hates the stuff and won't eat anything I make if it includes it. Can I just miss it out? What does it actually do being that there is also baking powder in it?

Mad this cake but thought it sounded a hell of a lot of cocoa so I only used a small cup and it was still fairly dark Glad I didnt put the amount stated. This is an awesome cake. Tonight I cut into big squares cut through the middle put a dab of lemon curd and whipped cream put the two tog. cream on top with flake choc hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm wow yum what a lovely desert with a little liquid choc sauce around plate. My friend has a resturant and wants that on her menu. Thanks a lot. Love it.

I am glad so many people have enjoyed this recipe as much as I do. its the easiest and never fails. and sure to impress your friends and families they won't believe you made it. Another thing I have tried with this recipe is it makes great muffins and if you want to really impress cook in two tins once cooked and cooled put cream on one the pop the other on top very naughty but nice... . . happy cooking everyone

sounds great. a recipe i 'made up' and have been using lately for my icing, is a couple of tablespoons of butter - melted with some chocolate chips (about half a cup), icing sugar and hot water. i melt the butter and chocolate chips and add the icing sugar and hot water to mix to the right consistancy. makes a nice firm icing.
another keeper -I made two cakes and 12 cupcakes from this recipe, and they are lovely and light and soft - so everyone is happy, oh and I cut the sugar down to 2 1/2 cups and it is fine. Thanks for sharing.
