    I know they don't really class as cakes but;

    Four Nut Chocolate Brownies from Delia Online

    Are absolutely awesome!

    Especially with a dollop of Ben and Jerry's Vanilla ice cream!

    My New Favorite is a Spicy Chocolate Cake (don't let the jalapeņos fool you its cinnamony and yummy!)

    1 cup semi sweet morsels
    1 1/4 cps sugar
    1.5 sticks of butter softened
    1 tsp vanilla extract
    3 large eggs
    2 cups all purpose flour
    1 tbsp cinnamon
    1 tsp baking soda
    1/2 tsp salt
    1 cup milk
    1 to 2 tablespoons diced jalapeņos

    Preheat oven to 350. Microwave morsels for 1 minute, stir until morsels are melted. BEAT sugar, butter & vanilla until creamy. Add eggs. Beat 1 minute. Beat in melted morsels. Combine flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt in separate bowl then slowly beat into chocolate mixture alternating with milk (so it would go beat in dry ingredients then beat in milk then dry then milk until both are beaten in). Stir in jalapeņos then pour into cake pans. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes (or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean). Allow to cool in pans for 20 minutes then invert onto wire rack to cool completely.

    Frosting: (this is the BEST YUMMIEST FROSTING - I had to smack people from eating it straight from the bowl)

    3 cups powdered sugar
    1/3 cup milk
    1/2 stick butter softened
    2 packets (7 ox each) Nestle Toll House Choco Bake Unsweetened Chocolate flavor
    2 tsp vanilla extract
    1/4 tsp salt

    BEAT powdered sugar, milk, butter, Choco bake, vanilla, salt until its frosting!

    I like Jamie Oliver but I think he does better savoury food!
    Cola cake sounds good! I once made Dr Pepper pancakes! So much sugar I didn't come down for hours! Lol!

    Moomin buy it, it has to be the most interesting autobiography I've ever read definitely worth the time and effort that's for sure gives you a good insight to why he is the way he is.

    Glinda he has a steam about him giggle and happens to be one of the richest chefs in the world :D to boot.

    Really? I didn't know he was so wealthy. But I guess that's big ol duh since he has several programs here as well as there and books, etc, etc.

    I personally have a rather large crush on Anthony Bourdain. He's like a rogue chef.
