Really chocolatey choc fudge cake

Noozan

It's my DH's birthday on Friday and I want to bake him a cake. He loves chocolate and can eat it all day long :rolleyes: . Does anyone have a tried and tested extremely chocolatey cake recipe with fudgy type frosting? I've made the Nigella malteser cake before which went down a treat but would like to try somethihg different. I've got a box of chocs from Hotel Chocolat to put on top of the cake :cool:

I've made both these cakes recently. I would make the 'sequel' cake from the second recipe and the fudge frosting from the first recipe. I found the cake from the first recipe was drier in texture, whereas the sequel cake is moist and gets more so after being kept for a couple of days. I made a fudge sauce from mars bars, milk, cocoa powder microwaved together, mixed with icing sugar, and blended with a stick blender to go with the sequel cake. It tastes great but it's more of a sauce than a frosting if you see what I mean. But the frosting from the first recipe would be ideal.
Hope this doesn't offend anyone
