This one is a rich fudgy, dense, dark chocolate cake with a wonderful chocolate icing from Laura at EAT DRINK LIVE. It's not a cake for the faint hearted as there's an awful lot of butter and chocolate in it, but having said that, it makes a big cake and will feed a crowd.
As you can see, mine took on the look of the Grand Canyon with its huge cracks, but it tasted pretty good nonetheless. The only change I made was to use a deep 9" cake tin rather than the 8" one that Laura suggested.
Hop over to EAT DRINK LIVE for the recipe and to see Laura's great photos.
Thank you Laura for a lovely cake!

oh this would be death by chocolate :) I love the photos look great!
Hi from Barcelona (Spain),
This cake looks yummy!!! my chocolate cakes also always come out with cracks, I don't know why, but they taste ok and anyway I always cover the cake with chocolate butter icing.
Your custard creams also look good. hope one day to try them as they're my very favourite biscuits and you can't get them over here in Barcelona. :)
oops!!! my mistake, the custard creams are on another blog - sorry!!
i like cracks! they make the surface much more interesting. and chewier/tougher, which I like :D
Mmmm...I would love a piece of chocolate cake right now! Yours looks gorgeous with the sugar dusting on top.
Looks yummy Nic!!!
looks lovely... i could jump right in! i have always wanted to go to the grand canyon, now here's a version that's even more tempting!!
This looks like a very chocolatey chocolate cake! It would please any chocolate cake lover.
OK one thing less to do in life Nic - the Grand Canyon! This works for me & HOW!! I am pretty 'butter' faint hearted, but something as divine looking as this makes me change my mind, & heart! Love it Nic...bet the men loved it too!!
those cracks wouldn't slow me down for even a second. what a terrific cake--it makes me glad i've got a strong heart. :)
Looks absolutely heavenly!!

One doesn't even have to be craving chocolate to drool over this beauty, Nic! Love the crackled top and intense color... So delicious!
You really did a good job in capturing the essence of chocolate cake! Just by looking at those pics makes me drool! Thumbs up...
BTW, as I was looking at your blog, I tried to figure out how you did that menu feature "Can I Tempt You". Is it available in blogspot template? or an outsider template? It looks really cool to have many recipes upfront..
Regards,
Kris
I am actually craving some chocolate right now, and your yummy cake is making the craving worse!
Mmmm that looks good. Deep dark chocolate and wonderfully fudgey
Nothing wrond with a crack on a delicious chocolate cake. No problems at all!!! ;)
This looks fantastic! I think the cracking on top is a good sign of the moisture and yummyness that lays beneath!
