Chocolate muffin recipe into cake?

I need help from bakers!
DD has a birthday coming up and for the first time in ages wants a homemade cake. Now I am really no baker, and she has had a shop cake since she was 4, so I am seriously out of practice.
She wants a chocolate cake with chocolate lumps in like the muffins she loves. Would a muffin mixture dumped in a cake tin work, or would I have to change the amounts? I assume I'd have to lengthen the cooking time.
I really ought to do a trial run, but am trying to lose weight and don't want a cake in the house if I can avoid it!
If it wouldn't work, does anyone have a tried and tested recipe that would fit the bill?

hi
the muffin recipe should be fine, in fact i bunged banana muffin mixture into a loaf tin yeterday and just cooked it a bit lower and for a bit longer. it was lovely!
stick a skewer or similar in after about 1/2 an hour and see if it comes out clean, if so its cooked! top with chocolate ganache and it will be yummy!
hope she has a nice birthday

I have done this with chocolate chip muffin mixture and as Vixtress says cooked longer and lower was fine. Too fine in fact it was gone quicker than the cakes usually are
