Variations on cake recipe

[TheMagicPirate]

I'm looking to make a lady friend of mine a cake tonight as a birthday gift.

My Google skills are high enough to get the general recipe but I'm after some recommended variations.

I was thinking some kind of chocolate cake but any ideas welcome.

So come on OcUK, do what you do best and 'Spec me a' Cake recipe

A layered chocolate cake with chocolate chips in there, with fudge between the cake layers, covered in chocolate frosting and white chocolate flakes.

EDIT: Use Hersheys chocolate chips for best results.

Just put some vanilla flavouring in it.

 

[Johnny Girth]

6 oz caster sugar
6 oz margerine (room temp)
5 oz self raising flour
3 oz drinking choc
3 eggs
3 tablespoons hot water

Triple sift the drinking chocolate and flour (use McDougals). Then add sugar, eggs and marg. Mix all together. Then add the water. Mix until it's a smooth paste.

Split between 2 cake tins and put in at 180C for about 20 mins or until the top is not soggy and a skewer comes out clean. Don't open the oven before you think it's done as it might fall.

For the icing:

2:1 ratio of icing sugar and room temperature jersey butter. Add Green n Blacks coco powder to make it chocolatey. You might need a drop of milk if it doesn't soften up but it does take a while so be patient. Apply to the cake when almost cool.

That's my favourite recipe, lovely

That's quality. I shall remember to do that next time it's my birthday and have to bring in cakes for mates at work.

Hash Cakes for the win.

She'll get off her trolley and then you can amuse yourself by putting giant smartie tubes over her knee and elbow joints.
