    Did you remove the equivalent amount of flour of what you added of cocoa? From memory that is normally what is recommended when converting a plain cake to chocolate.

    OK so my cake was pretty good but I thought the chocolate flavour was a bit lame. Can you add melted chocolate to it to beef it up a bit you think?

    I have been known to coat chocolate chips (white, dark & milk) in the dry mix (to stop them sinking to the bottom), then mixing them into the wet mix before it goes into the cake pan. You can also just shove some chunks of chocolate into the cake before you put it into the oven
