Definitely make in a bigger tin, this is the second Chelsea cake recipe I have made that needed a bigger tin, the banana cake with yoghurt also did

This is an easy recipe that always works well. The cake is delicious, and even better on the next day. I use less sugar and it is great.

Imagine this ... a deep, rich brown lava which smells (and tastes, of course I licked the bowl) amazing. Got that image? Now picture it flowing over the sides of your cake tin in thick, sticky waves, and down into the depths of your oven. You cook it 10 minutes more and now it has a crispy crust, but molten centre. Another 10 minutes, a little less molten but nowhere near cooked. Yet another 10 minutes, and now you're smelling all the overflow on the bottom of the oven. We're not talking a few drips here, we're talking half the batter. Turn it down and cover with tinfoil, and another 10 minutes ... and as I write, I'm still waiting for it to finish cooking. In summary, if what you're going for is a chocolate scented kitchen and chocolate coated oven, this is your recipe. If you want a single chocolate cake which remains within the tin, halve the recipe. I have no clue how long to cook it for as mine is still going ... .
