It's DF's birthday today and I want to bake him a chocolate cake and decorate it....does anyone have any suggestions about how I can do it that's fairly simple?? It does have to be dairy free, so no cream or actual chocolate....

I thought of getting some Pebbles or something and putting them across the top, but it seems a little young.

Oh...and he's turning 29.

ETA: any no fail moist chocolate cake recipes would also be really good....

As far as the cake goes, you can't go wrong with this one. It's the nicest, moistest recipe in my collection and I've never messed it up. Makes a huge cake - halve it if you want.

Chocolate cake
 
2 cups sugar
3 cups self-raising flour
2 tsp baking soda
˝ cup cocoa
3 eggs, separated
2 cups milk
2 tblsp vinegar
2 tblsp golden syrup
2 tsp vanilla
1 ˝ cups oil
                                              
Beat egg whites until peaked.
 
Mix all other wet ingredients together.
 
Sift dry ingredients, and fold into wet ingredients.
 
Fold in egg whites thoroughly
 
Bake at 180 until done (about 40 mins?).


ETA: it does have milk in it tho, sorry

Milks fine, I can just use mine (lactose free), it's more butter that poses a problem!!

Thank you!

the mayo choc cake posted in the recipe section is my all time fav - i use it for the birthday cakes here.

is he interested in sport? you could make the cake look like a field or playing ground?
