the roasting pan i use is 33x23cms if that helps. I line mine with what they call a bbq liner which make fat free cooking on a bbq you can buy baking ones as well mitre 10 sell them. this is very easy and if you you could freeze half if you so wished.

I have made this cake twice now and both times it has been a hit. Hubby has requested it to be made for his 40th birthday! I put a nice chocolate icing on it and of course for the kids, I sprinkle a few hundreds and thousands over it!!! Yum!

Seems like a heap of sugar, a cake with the same amount of flour as sugar? Could I use less & have it still turn out?

Suie, I've just put mine into the oven. I thought the same about all of the sugar, so I used one cup less. I will come back in here later, to let you know how it turns out.

I've just checked my cake, it's nearly cooked. I'm so glad that I didn't use the full amount of sugar that the recipe said to. If there was any more sugar in the cake, it would be too sweet. It's just right.

You're welcome Hooksie. I forgot to mention that I use "Gluten Free" flour. Everything comes out of the oven so moist, cakes just melt in your mouth. No need for icing, the cakes are so rich. I have only been using gluten free flour since this September.

Hi Lorraine well I haven't tried doug one yet ( but will do) and guessing due to the amounts ends up a smaller cake. but can definitly reccomend the first makes a good sized cake. Roasting pan size and 10 cm high so if you are not big eaters i suggest you can cook in 2 lots or cut in half and freeze

oh my goodness that really is the best chocolate cake i have ever made!!!! and i am not usually very good at making cakes but it was sooo moist and not so rich that i felt sick. it makes a hell of a lot which was great i made two very large cakes out of the recipe,mmmm is it bad that 3/4 of the first cake is already gone?? thanks i will be making this for a long time to come

Its a really nice cake thankyou hooksie, have another one I make which is similar but this one will last longer in this house because its bigger. Made some cup cakes with some of the mixture and iced them, lovely. The visiting kid up the road filched another one when I wasnt looking so guess that passed the test.

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!
