Bimby Chocolate Cake

[meganjane]

Yep, better than the Hilight Cake!!

I think it's the slower temperature that works so well. Each time I've made this it takes EXACTLY 40 minutes at 160c. That's a miracle in itself as I usually find that I have to cook cakes a bit longer than the recipe states.

It's definitely going to be made then.

Thanks so much for this easy and fabulous cake ... was under pressure today to make something for the school fair cake stall tomorrow and this saved me a lot of stress ... a great success!!

Inspired by the success of the cake I did last year (thanks ton your advice and encouragement) Ive had another go this year.  Thisbyear she's having a campfire party, and they're cooking their food on a campfire at our allotment, and making a scarecrow.

I,ll ask DH to take a photo.  I melted hard boiled sweets in the oven on a tray, then let the sheet harden, then broke it into shards to use  as flames.  If I had time I would do it again using just red and orange for a deeper colour.  The yellow I used has made it a bit too nothing.  Oh well.

Bimby, I can't count how many times I've used your recipe!  Love it.

The full mix was the perfect amount for the two sections, for the giant donut cake I made this afternoon.

........and once again I've made this, but I grated and melted 100g dark chocolate before adding the rest of the ingredients.....Just because

Maddy they look just gorgeous.  You must have a lot of parties    I think we will have to start calling you the Cupcake Queen

Maddy your pics are always so clear - your dishes look great.  Do you use a compact digital or SLR and do you compress the pics before posting - great work whatever you do.

Cheers

[achookwoman]

Maddy,   that is just lovely,  and I love the idea of a camp fire party.  Lucky kids

[maddy]

  You must have a lot of parties   

  We do entertain/go out quite often, and usually it's mandatory that I bring the dip, bread and of course cupcakes.  Everyone loves a cupcake!

Isn't it gorgeous!  A lovely lady on the taste forum sent it to me as a thank-you......she knew I would love it    It was a gift store somewhere

Thanks Robyn......well I just use a good old kodak digital camera......get as close as I can before it's out of focus, and click    I really have no idea about photography, and I usually take a few shots, and hope at least one is clear.
I'm not really sure what you mean about compressing the pictures  clueless I am
