Lovely cake H! I used this cake to make a Minecraft creeper cake for my DD this year too

Thanks ES :). Does your cake dome?

BZB, did your cake dome?

Yes H, this cake does dome. If you want a flat top, try baking in a silicon pan  :)

Hally, my cake didn't dome much as I used a big rectangular tin.

ES, had 3 of the mummies saying that the cake was yum :D

Hi BZB, to get a flatter top, next time you make this cake just slice off the dome and turn it upside down, I always had to do this with cakes that I used to make for people as this gives you a flat surface to work with.

Thanks all. He's quite pleased that he managed to make the cake :)

Augusta, I usually do that. But this cake would be only about 3-4 cm tall if I shaved off the dome :)

He did a fabulous job BZB  8)
It really is a quick, moist chocolate cake...I really like it.
I don't see the doming an issue at all, especially with cupcakes as it aids the shaping for piping swirls of icing  :)

I have been tasked with making a cricket cake for DS's birthday next weekend.  Made a double quantity of this recipe this morning as a "test run", and although it nearly filled the thermie, it worked fine - so double quantity is do-able.  I used a 26cm square cake tin, and in my oven it took nearly an hour to cook.

It is a lovely cake, perfect texture and lovely and moist.  Thanks for the recipe ES (and your mum!)

Look forward to making the real thing, and decorating it, next weekend!
