Chocolate cake recipes

I have just made nigellas tradicional choc cake from feast which has sour cream in which i think makes it rich and moist (well it was when i tryed the one my friend had made) it looks and smells lovely and is realy easy to make. my friend has also made the choc loaf in same book (i think) and say thats realy nice.

Chcolate beer cake is delias. On www.deliaonline.com/co.uk

Nigella's chocolate guinness cake is in Feast and is really, really good.

Feast is one of the Nigella books I am missing. Gah.

And thanks for the delia rec - I'll have a look there.

Apaprently this is the Green&Blacks Guiness one - does it look like nigella's?

225g/ 8oz unsalted butter, softened
350g / 12 oz soft dark brown sugar
4 large eggs, beaten
225 g/ 8oz plan flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp bicarb
400ml guinness (allow head to settle before using)
100g/ 3 1/2 oz cocoa powder
150g dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa solids, grated)

Oven 180C/350F/GM4

Butter & line 23cm/9 in deep springform tin

Cream butter & sugar. Gradually add eggs. Sift flour, baking powder & bicarb together. Mix Guinness & cocoa in jug (you will need to persevere with this) Add grated chocolate to Guinness mix.

Add flour & Guinness mix alternately to egg mix, stirring between each addition, until completely mixed. Resulting mix will be quite soft.

Spoon in to tin. Bake for 1-1 1/4 hours until skewer comes out clean. You may need to cover the top with foil or greaseproof paper after a while (check after 45 mins, I'd say) to stop top from burning.

Leave to stand for 10 mins before turning out.

Nigella's Chocolate Fudge cake is gorgeous but very rich.

Rich is good.

i need to make a rather special cake for work. They adore the nigella brownies, but i want to something different this time.

Here is a US version of the recipe (so it's all cups and sticks) but there's probably a UK version somewhere on the web.
