    Chocolate Cake

    I baked a cake for my friends birthday yesterday, just thought I'd get some feedback on what you guys think (obviously you can't taste it but how do you think it looks?). I'm really proud of it as I'm an awful cook and don't do it very often and everyone who had a piece said it was fantastic.

    I think I see a niche market here, people building systems don't want to have to leave for food. They could order our delicious food with their components and it gives them a handy snack!

    You'll need water cooling so it doesn't melt of course

    Depends on the system, core 2 duo should be fine, kentsfield's are apparently a bit hot. If you were building a P4 EE you'd probably need to go for a phase system to stop it melting!

    Tiggerai, seems I owe you an apology. You already noticed this niche

    I made a chocolate cake for my daughter's birthday recently using a Delia recipe. It took me about 3 hours and the end result was...unimpressive. It was just so-so. Could have done with the sponge being more chocolatey and more moist. So, can I have your recipe please, doddsy?
