This is quite a dense cake but tastes lovely.

Amy - I halved the sugar because it seemed like a lot with the golden syrup. I also didn't ice it because I didn't have time to let it cool. We cut it warm and it went down very, very well. Thanks for a great recipe Cookie, its definitely a keeper.
SueJen - Just taken out of the oven Cookie but only took 1hour 5 mins. Would a fan forced oven make any difference, looks the same as yours and Amys. Would a chocolate frosting be ok or just a vanilla one with a dash of lemon?
I think fan forced must make a difference or the oven isn't working properly as the cake tastes great but is overcooked. The oven was at 160 degrees. Will try again tomorrow and just cook on 140, see what happens.
Amy - I cooked mine for 1 hour 30 mins Sue. I only turned the fan on in the last 15 minutes.

It looks like a mud cake Cookie and another nice, easy recipe too.

Very mudcake like in texture, not in taste though. The chocolate flavour isn't as strong.
-
Mmmm looks delish :)

I made this today because we had an old friend coming over for coffee. I halved the sugar because it seemed like a lot with the golden syrup. I also didn't ice it because I didn't have time to let it cool.
We cut it warm, and it went down very, very well ;) ;) ;)

I'm really glad you all liked it. Amy I had to laugh as I also reduced the sugar by quite a bit before I posted the recipe. :) :)

Your photo is much better than mine :-)) ;D

I can't turn the fan off in this oven. The temp is all over the place. :-[ :-[ :-[
Your cake will taste a lot better than mine. :) :) :) :)
The carrot cake is great but don't have to cook it so long.
-
Our old oven was like that Sue. It was a pain in the butt! >:(
But we have a lovely new one now :D
Your cake has the added charm of a lovely icing ;)

Well Amy, Jen said she would ice it. She always makes it the old way, by hand. I told her to use the thermy. She couldn't believe how fast it was made. Will never do it her way again.
;D ;D ;D ;D
