A long time ago, in talking 10years probably, someone posted on this board a recipe for "Dutch chocolate cake" It was amazing and I made it many times but lost my recipe book in a flood last year....I was gutted as it had alot of my favourite baking recipes in it.
Anyway the cake was made with about a cup of oil among all the other ingredients, I think also a cup or 2 of hot water went in.
I was hoping maybe someone else here had the recipe??

I wonder if it is this one:
I make this once a week makes a small rosat pan size cake

3.5 c flour
1.5 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.

Have made above recipe for 50 or so years. Came from a distant relative who had a Home Cookery in Auckland. It was called STIR IT UP CHOCOLATE CAKE. So easy, moist and absolutly delicious, its the only chocolate cake we ever make.
Super runny mixture, BUT bakes up fine
