Dark goodness

I'm a fan of good chocolate cake. It has to be moist, not too rich and easy to make. I've tried a few recipes in my time. One of which was the Bill Granger's recipe for chocolate cake but I found it to be too sweet. I could probably reduce the amount of sugar but I haven't had a chance to have another go at it.

So my question to you all is what is your favourite chocolate cake recipe?

I recently tried the recipe from 'Good chef, Bad chef' and I think I'm onto a winner. It was so good and taste better as the days go on. But I'm keen to try out a few more recipes before I decide.
