When only chocolate cake will do. This is the most simple recipe for chocolate cake I know. It is exactly how I like my chocolate cake unadulterated by buttercream, icings, fondants, creams and hence a lot lighter on calories/fats.That said if you really must have something on your cake double this recipe use 2 of the suggested round tins and sandwich together with the best quality raspberry jam you can afford (better still make your own!). Soft whipped cream too if its a celebratory cake.
