Answer 1

Yes, try Delia Smith's beer and chocolate cake. It's gorgeous, I made one for my boyfriend's birthday last year.

Just search for Delia Smith, and type beer and chocolate cake into the search box of her website.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Oh yes - I got this one from Chez Panisse near San Francisco. It's a little tricky to get just right, but once perfected, you will never eat any other cake other than this one.

Ingredients:
250g dark chocolate, broken into pieces
250g salted butter
6 medium eggs, seperated
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
175g caster sugar
55g light soft brown sugar
55g ground almonds
3 tbsp plain flour, sifted
sifted icing sugar / cocoa powder, to dust

Method:

Preheat oven to GM5/190C/375F. Grease and line the base of a 20 - 23cm springform cake tin. Dust with a little flour.

Melt choc and butter in a bowl over a pan of simmering water. Once melted, whisk until smooth.

Whisk egg whites and cream of tartar with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.

Whisk egg yolks in a bowl with both sugars until thick and pale. Pour in choc mixture and mix until smooth.

Add almonds and flour to mixture and mix again. carefully fold in egg whites.

Pur mix into tin. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes. The cake should be set but slightly wobbly in the centre. Cool in the tin.

To serve, run a knife round the edge and remove from tin. Peel paper off the bottom and place on a cake platter. Dust with icing sugar and / or cocoa powder.

The centre should be really gooey and runny, but the outside cooked fully. This is very very very very very tasty. Enjoy.

Answer 3

I have never tasted better chocolate cakes than the Duncan Heines box mix at the grocery store. Just do it. Easy, too. Sooo moist! You could even add chocolate chips or cherries and it tastes wonderful.

Answer 4

a friend once made a 'sticky' cake -
which just had about 4 melted king-size mars bars, a handfull of broken digestives some chopped cherries, nuts if you wanted them, and mixed the lot up in a bowl.
then poured it into a tray and left it in the fridge to set

fan-bloody-tastic...
once you got it out of the tray ... lol

you could try any combinations like that and as is doesnt need cooking you can taste it as you go along... remembering to leave enough to put in a tray ... lol

INGREDIENTS:

* 1 cup all-purpose flour
* 1 cup white sugar
* 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1/3 cup butter
* 1/4 cup water
* 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
* 1/4 cup buttermilk
* 1 egg, beaten
* 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts

DIRECTIONS:

1. Sterilize 2 (1 pint) straight sided wide mouth canning jars, lids and rings by boiling for 10 minutes. Keep the lids and rings in the hot water until needed. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C)
2. In a small bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking soda and cinnamon. Set aside.
3. In a medium saucepan, combine butter, water and cocoa powder. Heat and stir until butter is melted and mixture is well blended. Pour into a large bowl.
4. Stir in Flour mixture and blend. Add buttermilk, egg and vanilla and beat by hand until smooth. Stir in nuts.

6. Using heavy oven mitts, remove cakes from oven one at a time. Place a lid, then a ring onto the jars and screw them down tightly. Place the jars on the counter and listen for them to "ping" as they seal. If you miss the "ping", wait until they are completely cool and press on the top of the lid. If it doesn't move at all, it's seale
