Steps:
- Heat oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3. Butter, double-line and wrap the sides of the 30cm deep-round cake tin as before. Put the butter and chocolate into a medium saucepan, then stir over a low heat until melted and smooth. Stir in the coffee and vanilla.
- Sift the flour, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda into the biggest bowl you have. Add the sugar, breaking down any lumps with your fingertips if necessary. Beat the eggs and soured cream together in a jug or bowl and pour into the flour mix. Pour in the melted chocolate mix as well, then stir with a wooden spoon until you have a thick, even chocolaty batter.
- Pour into the prepared tin and bake for 2½ hrs - don't open the oven door before 2 hrs is up, as this will cause the cake to sink. Once cooked, leave in the tin to cool completely. The unfilled cake will keep for up to four days, wrapped as before, or frozen for a month.

RICH & MOIST DARK CHOCOLATE CAKE (USES CAKE MIX)
This is a decadent and rich moist dark chocolate cake recipe, but it's quick & easy as a boxed cake mix is used. You can make this simple in a bundt pan & serve without frosting with just a dusting of confectioners sugar... or you can prepare it our favorite way by making it into a delicious layer cake using canned or homemade dark chocolate frosting... This is my hubby's favorite that I make for him on Valentine's Day and his Birthday every year...

RICH DARK CHOCOLATE CAKE
This is the most easy, moist and delicious chocolate cake! It is nice split and filled with cherries or jam and whipped cream and iced with ganache or chocolate icing. It does require a good chill for flavours to develop. Everyone raves about this and is always a favourite when I take it anywhere.

RICH DARK CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH RED WINE CHOCOLATE FROSTING
I was looking for a light, rich chocolate cake that wasn't too sweet and was easy to make. I couldn't find one, so I took a couple of different recipes and doctored them to make this. It came out just as I wanted; light and fluffy without being too sweet. The red wine frosting makes it for grown ups only (at least that's what you can tell any kids that are after some!). If you prefer a more traditional sweetness, simply add more sugar - I'd suggest increasing by a third (ie to 400g). The frosting should be enough to put a layer between the two cakes and some on top. You may also like to slice each cake in two to add two more layers of frosting if you're feeling decadent - just increase the quantities.

Steps:
- Pre-heat the oven to 180°C Line two cake tins with parchment paper and grease.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder, salt and coffee granules (ie all the dry ingredients).
- Make a well in the middle and add all the liquid ingredients.
- Use a whisk to mix together until completely blended. Don't be alarmed at how runny it is - it's much thinner than a normal cake mix!
- Pour into the two prepared tins and place in the oven for 30-40 minutes, until cooked through - the longer you leave them, the drier they will be. I found 30 minutes to be fine for a light, moist cake, but it will depend on your oven. Use a skewer inserted into the middle to make sure the cake is cooked through. If it comes out clean, you should be fine.
- Turn the cooked cakes out onto a cooling rack and place to one side.
- While they cool, make the frosting: Put the butter, icing sugar and cocoa powder in a bowl and cream together until light and fluffy. Add the cream cheese and mix well. Then, add the red wine a little at a time until it gets a little runnier. Give it a taste; you want to just be able to taste the wine without it being overpowering. Place in the fridge for a few minutes to let it stiffen up slightly.
- When the cake has cooled, spread the frosting on the top of one layer and place the other on top.

Steps:
- 1. Mix everything but the chocolate chips together in a large bowl beat about 2 minutes at med speed then fold in mini chips
- 2. distribute evenly into 2 nine inch round cake pans that have been sprayed with non stick spray
- 3. Bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes or until tooth pick comes clean (remember that the chocolate chips may leave a light chocolate coating on pick
- 4. ********* when I first made this recipe I thought I had filled the pans to much because it puffed up during the first 30 minutes or so, but after taking it out of the oven the cakes flatten to the right size.
RICH & DARK CHOCOLATE CAKE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare 2 x 9″ (or 3 x 8″ for slightly shorter layers) cake pans with butter and flour or parchment paper. In bowl of electric mixer, sift all dry ingredients. Add all remaning ingredients to bowl with the dry ingredients and with paddle attachment on mixer, mix for 2 minutes on medium speed (you may need the plastic splashguard that comes with mixer) and pour into prepared pans. Batter will be liquidy. Bake for 20 minutes and rotate pans in oven. Cakes are done when toothpick or skewer comes clean-approximately 35 minutes. Try not to overbake. Cool on wire racks for 20 minutes then gently invert onto racks until completely cool. *If doing the ruffly cake, you will likely want to increase the cake recipe to add a third 9″ layer. *This cake is sturdy enough to be used under fondant, stacked, etc. but also moist and tasty enough too go on its own with almost any type of frosting, glaze, etc. *Just note that I had originally put that the coffee should be cooled, but I have used boiling hot, moderately hot, and cool, and they all work well.
