This simple chocolate cake recipe uses only seven basic ingredients and promises to be loved by the whole family.
Make a larger batch for a three or even four-tier cake.
Decorate however you please - almonds (similar to the photo above), chocolate fudge icing, melted chocolate, raspberries, fondant icing, or simply topped with ice-cream or warm custard. Delicious!
