I used the chocolate mud cake recipe I got from here to make my daughters birthday cake last weekend. Oh. My. Gosh. It was the BEST chocolate cake I have ever had. My family was going crazy over it. And it did taste just like a brownie. It was even better later that night when I put a slice in through the microwave and pilled on a giant scoop of vanilla ice cream icon_razz.gif

1/2 teaspoon bicarb soda (baking powder)
2 1/2 cups sugar
8oz dark chocolate, chopped
8oz butter
3/4 cup hot water
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons coffee powder or granules
4 eggs

1. sift flour, cocoa and soda into bowl. Stir in sugar
2. melt chocolate and butter in pan until smooth. Add and stir in water
3. gradually stir in choc. mixture to dry ingredients
4. whisk buttermilk, oil, coffee, and eggs in sparate bowl until combined.
5. Add into cake mixture and combine well. Pour into prepared tin. (Make sure it is lined well with baking paper (leave a 2cm collar above the rim).
Bake for 1 hour and 40 mins on 160 degrees C. (315deg. F/Gas 2-3) until skewer comes out clean

I used a 9 inch pan and one batch made 2 cakes. The cakes don't rise very much so don't be scared to fill the pans pretty full.
