Recipe found in this book: “Get Baked” – Rich Myers. Currently available on Amazon Prime Reading (in the UK at least)

I halved the recipe, and it still made 2 x 6” versions of this cake, 24 generous servings total. My other half took one into work and it was well received so I thought I would share here too.

Deliciously decadent, fudgy and intensely chocolatey. Also, worked well with dairy free swaps – oat crème fraiche, vegan margarine (Stork) and vegan ganache made with Flora double cream.

    sounds amazing, i’m always on the lookout for a good chocolate cake recipe. love that you made it work with dairy free options too, that’s super helpful for when i bake for my vegan friends. i recently tried making chocolate chip cookies with coconut oil instead of butter and they turned out way better than expected. might need to get my hands on that get baked book. thanks for sharing!

    This is gorgeous, I think a simple but decadent chocolate cake is always so classy looking. Love the swirl, and added this cookbook to my wishlist!

    Beautiful! I’d eat it like Mr. Incredible. In secret during the night. I’m gonna make one like that soon once I have all the ingredients.

    This is the first Matilda chocolate cake I’ve seen that actually bears a resemblance to the one from the movie, well done

    I don’t know why, but the frosting swirl makes it look even more delicious.

    Did your blood, sweat, and tears go into that cake? It looks scrumptious! For real though, so good!

    I recently became lactose intolerant, and the fact that a beauty like this can be made with dairy-free alternatives gives me hope, lol.

    Has anyone else been following the drama between Get Baked and the other bakery?
