Quick Mix Dark Chocolate Cake

[the annoyed thyroid]

Made this tonight in a ring tin as well - fabulous height!!! I switched 100g butter for 100g coconut oil ... adds a really subtle hint of coconut. Delicious!!

This looks great, Julia. Did you use the coconut oil as is or did you melt it down?

Making this again today. Have extra kids sleeping over until sunday.

Making 2 of these today in a square tin to make a minecraft cube

Great recipe ES

[maddy]

they rose very well, infact all have domed. Never had this before

I have found that this is the only mix that gives perfect domes...especially in a mini muffin tin 

[Halex]

Glad its just not me. My 2 square cakes domed even with baking paper & a tray on top, I will just slice the dome off

Does it really matter Hally? If you are icing it just turn it upside down. Unless of course it is going outside the house.

I have made 2 to make a cube, but its going to be a box as I think I would need at least 4 cakes for a cube. Minecraft birthday cake for cp. Brown & green stuff!!!

I can't wait to see it decorated.

[Halex]

It just needs the candles & its done.
I should add this is a minecraft cake with a creeper

[Kimmyh]

Fantastic cake Hally.

[BeezeeBee]

Very cool Hally! Was thinking of minecraft cake for my DS8 going 9 as well.

What did u use to ice the cake?

[Halex]

BZB, I used RTR & I bought Betty Crocker icing, as butter icing needs to go in the fridge here in perth in December & RTR cant go in the fridge.
