My soon to be eight year old son has asked me to make him a chocolate cake for his birthday party Who knows why!). He also want it to be iced  with white sugar icing and decorated. So I need a good recipe for chocolate cake. Do you think it would be best to use ready-to-roll icing or royal icing? Also, do you think I will still need to put a thin layer of almond paste/marzipan between cake and icing? Thank you in anticipation of all your help.

Does anyone have a very quick and easy (seriously lacking in most utensils or cooking ability) chocolate cake recipe that doesn’t use any eggs? Many thanks in advance:)

I enjoy baking and often bake cakes, but I often make the same thing… chocolate fudge cake, lemon cheesecake…and so on.

Does anyone have any interesting or unusual recipes they could share with me?

Thanks in advance!

I have an old box of white drinking chocolate – like Cadburys Drinking Chocolate only white. Does anyone have a recipe where I could use this powder for the cake and/or icing!

I need another recipe for a chocolate sandwich cake – I can make lots of other cakes,  but not chocolate – my children are not happy!

Would a competent cook share a great chocolate cake recipe with me??
