As I had some chocolate couveture that was nearing its date, I melted this over the top. Unfortunately this didn't help matters:
Not wanting to admit defeat, I melted some white chocolate I had and made some cool swirly patterns. I actually think it turned out ok! Looks aside, the cake was very tasty!
Next time I use this recipe though I think I will try and get some proper cocoa powder, and not use hot chocolate powder; the slight anaemic look doesn't help matters!

I love the swirls!
It's prettier than my attempt at a pineapple upside down cake. It too was reluctant to come out of the tin. In my attempt to get it out, I missed the cake plate and the entire cake went 'splat' all over the hob. I managed to salvage some cake, which tasted delicious, but the presentation could have been better! I called it my pineapple topsy turvy cake!
You should have put Malibu in it; then you blame the cake for not holding its liquer and falling over drunk.
As long as the cake tasted Ok thats the main thing. I tried to make a "round" of bread just like Hugh does on the telly. I shapped it into a lovely round ball, placed it to rise and it did in all directions, when it reached the oven it expanded even more into a monster and I managed to burn it! We cut the crusts off and it tasted fine although wouldn`t it fit in the bread bin.
