Nigella quadruple chocolate cake is great to make ahead.

Do you want something to decorate?

Nigella chocolate fudge cake.
I doubled it and cooked it in the roasting dish for a crowd. Lovely rich moist cake.

Nigella's Coca-Cola cake. It's amazing. If you can get it, use Dr. Oetker's cocoa powder, after many trials I've found it's the best.

Nigella it is then! Thank you everyone! I am doing a giant one in a baking tray and will just top with buttercream, it's for a 2 year olds party so nothing fancy

Just a tip I found recently, instead of greasing and lining a tin you can buy cake release spray from Lakeland. Oh my word what a revelation, no more faffing around with cutting out greaseproof paper. I have used it twice this week and it works, it really really works.

It's Nigella's chocolate guinness cake without a doubt.

But I always do this tray bake for kids - it's not chocolate though

Just to add another nigella suggestion... her chocolate sour cream cake is the single best chocolate cake I've ever had. Sounds weird but it's immense.

Mary Berry's chocolate cake with milk chocolate ganache is amazing! As is Ruby Tandor's chocolate birthday cake with coffee.

Another vote for Ed Kimber. One tray bakes book is amazing. Any choc cake recipe from him.
