Cocoa powder will not work for chocolate cake!. You have to use chocolate, otherwise the cake isn't a chocolate cake!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Yes there are recipes on the net, just Google it!.
Cocoa powder needs a lot of sugar added to the mix!. It will be chocolate flavoured but not mudcake rich or anything!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
