I have to say though that mine wasn't terribly fantastic tasting straight out of the oven ( couldn't resist), but the next day was incredibly delicious!

O.K. I have one obvious recomendation, make sure you put in the Baking soda & Baking Powder. As you can guess mine didn't rise & didn't taste too good & had the consistancy of an oily sponge (a sponge not in a cake sense)!
So... that was a few days ago & now I have a proper one in the oven, luckily I decided to test the cake before making it for my boys 1st B-day!!! Will let you know how it turns out! Trial/ taste testing is usually a fun part of baking but not when it doesn't turn out right!

Very yummy. Need to make sure you either split the recipe into two or use a really big tin though cause otherwise it tries to climb out and run away while it's cooking.

I am making this tomorrow for DH's bday and wanted to make two to join together with chocolate cream icing. So should I double the mixture of it or it sounds like the mixture is enough for two cakes anyway? I think my tins are around 20-30 cms.

i made this yesterday but changed the recipe a little.
I didnt have enough oil and didnt check before already starting so ended up using 100gms melted butter instead. Also while mixing the dry ingredients i added about a cup or just less of choc chips and i made just a little bit extra then a cup or boiling water with a small teaspoon of coffee.
Honestly it is one of the yummiest cakes i have ever made. Last time i made it with oil and must of used a bit more as it tasted very oily to me.
I keep sneaking back in to have some more 
It is even yummier with whipped cream!!

OMG I am so so SO grateful for this thread and this recipie! I was searching all day for a chocolate cake recipie for my son's 2nd birhday cake. I did a trial cake today and this cake is awesome!!! No wonder you have all raved about it. I have done a wiggles car cake and the way the cake comes out it is so easy to work with as it doesn't crumble but is moist and yum in the middle! And so freakin easy to make! Yay!

I've (finally!) made this a couple of times recently - getting a decent-sized cake and 8 cupcakes out of the recipe. We actually prefer the cupcakes to the cake. ;)
I'll tweak it further next time as I don't find it *quite* chocolatey enough - has anyone tried experimenting with melted chocolate in the mix? >.>

Right I just made this cake, a single batch in a 35cm square pan, I cooked it on 180 for 45mins. I greased the bottom with butter but forgot to do the sides. It turned out a bit flat, which I expected, but it also stuck to the pan and crumbled apart when I managed to get it out of the pan. I plan on making this for DS's birthday on Saturday (making it Friday).
ETA - it does taste really yummy tho
If I do a double batch, and line the pan with baking paper, do you think it will come out ok?

I found the tin needs to be lined MrsH23 otherwise it wont come out of the tin.  Well it does .. but its not an easy task!

Thanks Lilfatty, I figure if I make it early enough on Friday morning, I'll have enough time to make another if it doesn't turn out quite right!
On the plus side, I've now got a choc cake to turn into pudding for tonight

I expected to come on here and be the only one not able to make this, as I suck at baking! But what'd ya know - it worked (which says something for the recipe!)
Thanks SO much. It was fantastic!
