Bake in slow oven 150C (302 degrees Fahrenheit) in 2 x 20cm (7.87 inches) round cake tins. \u00a0If you are making a large cake this can take well over an hour. \u00a0If the cake is looking done on top but is not yet cooked through put an empty baking tray on the shelf above it in the oven. \u00a0Insert a knife into the centre to check if it is done. Moderate oven 180C (356 degrees Fahrenheit) is fine, for cupcakes allow approx 20 mins.<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"updated\" style=\"text-align: center;\">by Ann Reardon <a href=\"http:\/\/howtocookthat.net\/\" target=\"_blank\">How To Cook That<\/a><\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">March 6, 2011<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>\\<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\/\", \n  \"@type\": \"Recipe\", \n  \"name\": \"Best Chocolate Cake Ever\",\n  \"image\": \"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_NEIAWf-psE8\/TFGEMVQ06PI\/AAAAAAAAABs\/GoJNkiuDe3A\/s320\/100_3381.JPG\",\n  \"description\": \"Have you ever been disappointed by a dry and tasteless chocolate cake?
