Recipe's preparation
Pre-heat oven to 180°C. (My oven runs a bit cool so I cooked on 190°C)
Grease up 2 x 20cm cake pans. (I used 2 x rectangle pyrex dishes about 15 x 20cm) OR 1 x large pan.
Melt butter for 1 min / 60°C / speed 2 or until completely melted.
Add milk, eggs & vanilla extract. Mix 3 seconds / speed 3.
Add remaining cake ingredients - EXCEPT water. Mix 20 seconds / speed 4. Mix will be THICK.
Add boiling water. Mix 10 seconds / speed 4. Scrape sides & bottom of bowl - cake was thick, so make sure you get anything that's been stuck on the bowl.
Mix 10 seconds / speed 4.
Pour into oiled pans and cook 45 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean.
Leave in pan 10 minutes, then carefully turn out and allow to cool completely before icing.
Add icing sugar, butter, cocoa & vanilla to the bowl.
Mix 5 seconds / speed 6, or until mixture comes together.
Add cubed cream cheese and mix speed 7 / 10 - 15 seconds, or until combined and motor takes off!

So delicious! I made this three times last week alone! 2 birthday cakes and a batch of cupcakes for the coronation. Makes 24 cupcakes at least. I use the standard buttercream recipe from cookidoo but should try this one. The last cake I made I did a layer of caramel (I used the Millionaires Shortbread with a Twist caramel recipe from Cookidoo) between the layers and it was AMAZING!!
We were still eating the cupcakes almost 4 days later and they were stil delicous and moist. Perfect chocolate cake!

Would this cake be suitable to stack and make into a drip cake with buttercream layers? Or too moist/dense and will squash buttercream?

This is my go to chocolate cake as it is so moist and serves many people, which is great for a birthday cake. I tried a dairy-free option due to someone's dietary requirements and it turned out just as great! I used dairy-free butter and rice milk as substitutes and then made a dairy-free buttercream for the icing (using same substitutions) and the cake was a hit. Thanks for such a no-fail recipe!

I agree with everyone else a perfect & delicious cake. Very easy. I left all the ingredients as they were & found it sweet but not overly. Definitely will be a winner at family dinner tonight. Thank you for adding this recipe for us all to enjoy 😊
Amazing! I cut sugar back to 350g

My whole family loves this cake. It is so moist and has a great chocolatey flavour. We do reduce sugar to 360grams and tastes great. We make this every couple of weeks for school and work lunches.

Lovely cake. i only used 320g of sugar as i knew the icing would be sweet (used a diff icing recipe) so whilst the cake itself wasn't that sweet it was balanced by the icing.
I used a 22cm pan and it didn't rise evenly so cut the top off. Next time will use two smaller ones (just didn't have two the same size that were smaller)
Thanks for sharing the recipe, will def use again

I made this today for the first time and it is an amazing cake. I cooked it in a large bundt tin and it's such an impressive cake, it cooked perfectly in the 45 minute cooking time, rising above the tin. I have now iced it and it has made a fabulous birthday cake with the icing being so smooth and shiny. It looks divine! Thank you for sharing the recipe. Absolutely delighted

I have tried a lot of cake and icing recipes and this by far is the best one. I have finally found my "go to" recipe. My mixture was really runny, so I'm not sure what I did wrong. Regardless, it worked out perfectly and looks identical to the picture. Thank-you so much for sharing!

Delicious! Brought the sugar down to 400g. The cake cracked a lot on the top though so I wonder if it would be better off doing a lower temp or fan baking? I notice another commenter said hers turned out nice and flat!

I've just placed mine into the oven Fingers crossed they turn out! I didn't add the cocoa as my son doesnt like chocolate cake (i know, crazy!!) but it wasnt thick as mentioned in the recipe; it was quiet runny. I'm sure with all that sugar though it will be yummy!!

This cake has a lovely texture. Baked in a 23cm square tin and took just over an hour at 180 fan forced. My mixture was quite runny (could pour from the mixing bowl without spatula), thought I had done something wrong. I ran 15g short on cocoa powder. Look forward to baking again with the right amount next time. Thanks for the recipe.
