Chocolate Birthday Cake Help

Hey everyone,

I want to bake a birthday cake and I have until next week.
I can bake a basic cake…but I want to make something better than that.
I want to make a chocolate cake - preferably by baking two cakes and joining them together (to form a sandwich?), with either cream or chocolate spread in between or something.
I want to cover the cake with some sort of creamy stuff (whatever that’s called lol…I’m not too good with all this :bummer:).
And finally i want to add some chocolate toppings - E.g chocolate flakes.

Okay I have all that in my head…but now I need to know how to go about actually making it.
Would anyone be able to help me with simple recipes, advice, etc.

Thanks

I suggest http://www.asdamagazine.com/2010/03/chocolate/ and scroll down to the choc cake recipe.

I’ve tried a few of their recipes - they turn out great every time!
