The only thing more impressive than baking a giant, multi-layer cake is cutting it into perfectly equal, servable slices.

This is the simplest of cakes. Made with oil and hot water ... Take out of the tin, place on a serving dish and cut into slices to enjoy. Adding coffee to chocolate enhances the cocoa flavour.
