| 1 | I make this once a week makes a small rosat pan size cake 3.5 c flour 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. hooksie60 - 2009-10-29 14:27:00 |
| 2 | That does sound easy. I like the ones where you just bung it all in one bowl just_lookin1 - 2009-10-29 15:06:00 |

| 6 | 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. hooksie60 - 2009-10-29 17:28:00 |

| 9 | What a terrific recipe! I made this and it was an instant hit with my family and yummy! Thank you for sharing! idgit1969 - 2009-11-08 10:05:00 |
| 10 | do you guys ice this cake???? angel361 - 2009-11-08 11:08:00 |
| 11 | yes I do with a soft chocolate icing hooksie60 - 2009-11-19 14:43:00 |
| 12 | 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! idgit1969 - 2009-11-19 19:25:00 |
| 13 | yuum, I gotta try this one! pvilz - 2009-11-22 20:59:00 |
| 14 | 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? suie1 - 2009-11-23 11:39:00 |

| 21 | I have just found this place and your cake sounds great and I will be looking for some cheescake recipes tinkertiger - 2009-11-23 20:53:00 |
| 22 | 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 hooksie60 - 2009-11-23 21:03:00 |
| 23 | 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?? pheebs1 - 2009-11-25 19:14:00 |

| 32 | 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. luckyduck - 2010-01-05 17:22:00 |
| 33 | This is a FAB recipe, so moist and scrummy! Beware it is large though :) solar_gal - 2010-04-24 17:31:00 |
| 34 | ...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! Edited by tulip280880 at 5:45 pm, Sat 24 Apr tulip280880 - 2010-04-24 17:44:00 |

| 37 | First recipe I've seen that's got such a standing ovation. I'm going to try it next baking day. gardie - 2010-08-08 20:05:00 |
| 38 | 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!) kcak - 2010-08-09 10:14:00 |
| 39 | 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? amarni1 - 2010-08-09 19:17:00 |

| 41 | What icing did everyone use on this cake? Have just made it and not sure what icing to use :) keirae - 2010-08-10 16:41:00 |
| 42 | 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. jaybee6 - 2010-08-11 19:44:00 |
