Chocolate Fudge Cake

[Wonder]

Can't believe I got the tin sizes incorrect I went out and bought them specially, i think in future if I made 11/2 times the recipe it would be the right amount for the two tins. I ended up making quit a few of these over the weekend as I needed to take a cake to a grand final day BBQ. Unfortunately I wasn't there when they ate the cake but I'm assuming they tasted great - it certainly looked great and the kids had to be held back so they didn't eat the cake before dinner.

So glad you like the cake Jan. 

Nothing to lose by doing 11/2times the recipe in the 8 inch cakes tins Wonder.Must try it myself to see if it works.

So, one and half times was fine Wonder? That's what I'll need to do I think. I don't really want to go and buy 2 x 7 inch tins for one recipe.

I missed this one too.  Will try the 1 ½ times for my 20cm tins, thanks Wonder.

It's great to have old recipes bumped, you never know what you are missing if they aren't. 
For those who have made muffins from this recipe, perhaps you can tell us how long they need to be cooked to give other options for lunch boxes perhaps.

I had to make this today after seeing it.  I did as Wonder did and did 1 ½ times the cake amount for my 2 x 20cm tins.  I had to use SR flour as I didn't have enough plain, so left out the baking powder and as you can see the cake rose perfectly and in fact I'll probably just use SR flour next time.

The cake is lovely and moist, my family thought it was wonderful.  I didn't decorate it as such this time but I wanted to show how lovely the cake itself is.

Thanks Cornish for a great recipe.

Wanted to try baking this today after drooling over your cakes, Julie and CC. Alas...my cake tins (all 4) are 22cm

The last of our biscuits will go to car club tomorrow so we will need some more. It may well be this cake.

Oh why, oh why did I succumb to temptation and look at this thread ... guess what is happening at my place this weekend (better check my tin sizes first)!

As an option, how long did the muffins take in the oven - the same temperature?  I have got such a cranky oven I hesitate to experiment with time and temperature without some help.  Thanks.
