Has anyone got a good recipe for making a Chocolate cake ? I need it to serve about 10 people and want something that is really luscious, I am debating between this and a fruit cream sponge. All recipes and methods welcomed.

Do you want a "from scratch" recipe? If not, I'd go with something like Pillsbury mix - very easy to make, and the cake turns out moist and spongy.

I use my own cream / frosting for chocolate cake - blend 1 stick of butter into a can of sweetened condenced milk. I put the cream in between two layers and on top.

You can use this recipe minus the cherries if you want, [url]http://www.womensforum.in/desserts/1620-chocolate-cherry-cake.html[/url]
