Just tried this today - dark, moist and gorgeous! It made 2 x 20cm cakes - perfect for functions. Highly recommend this one.

Great cake! The batter is quite runny after you add the water, but it thickens out once you cook it! Overall it's our favorite cake!

I have made this cake several times it is a massive hit at work especially with a ganache icing and because it makes such a large cake it is great for big groups. I was a bit dubious at first about the cup of water but it works.
