I made this and put it in a small roasting dish and a cake tin. Only to realise both wouldn't fit on the same rack in the oven, lol....no fan bake here! But jiggled them around, sprinkled icing sugar on one when cold and choc icing on the other. Nice and moist, I thought.
Do people use tins as opposed to ceramic dishes to bake cakes in these days?

and yes I've filled it iced it mixed it with raspberries, used cream, cut the sugar just about everything you can do really......

still worked out fine

If using this recipe to make 2 cakes what size pans would I use?

Non fan bake

hooksie60 - 2017-08-30 14:50:00

it would probably make 2 to 3 normal sized cakes as the recipe is for roasting pan

I make this once a week makes a small rosat pan size cake

3.5 c flour
3.5 c sugar
3 t/s Baking powder
1.5 c cocoa
1 cup oil
2 cups milk
3 t/s baking soda
1 t/s salt
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups of boiling water (added at end)

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.

I got this recipe off here from you in 2016 - it is amazing! I use 3 cups of sugar and am too lazy to ice it - I wait until its cold and sprinkle icing sugar on it. I also cook it on a lower shelf in the oven.
