It's Brown

Yes folks, chocolate cake is (or atleast is usually) brown, and it's the most wonderful brown substance on Earth. It is made with flour, eggs, fat, sugar, and cocoa powder, and comes in several varieties. For a recipie, please consult a handy cook book.

Brownie

Baked as a large, flat cake, it is then cut into smaller squares or rectangles. They are generally the most sticky of the chocolate cakes, and are often covered in a sickly toping of chocolate, fudge, or vanilla icing (or frosting). Chocolate pieces are also added to the mixture sometimes. It tends to be quite dense, and not the best thing to eat before you visit the dentist as it sticks inbetween your teeth. Yummy!

Muffin

The chocolate muffin is a thing of glory. A large, firm, open textured bun cooked in a case that holds only around third of the resultant volume. These are very rarely covered in a topping, but come in a variety of forms. Double chocolate is a chocolate muffin with larger chunks of soft chocolate in, and triple chocolate is the same but with white chocolate chunks in also. Another possible type of chocolate muffin is a plain muffin with the same pieces of soft chocolate added to the mixture. A well baked muffin is a thing of beauty and wonder. There are also banana muffins, cinamon muffins, strawberry muffins, apple muffins, blueberry, yoghurt, and so on, but they're not chocolate.

Marble Cake

Generally this includes chocolate, and then another flavour such as vanilla or more commonly orange. The two cake mixtures are made up, and then added together to produce a marbling effect hence the name. Usually baked in a loaf shape, rather than a round or square shape.

Gateaux

The chocolate gateaux is above even the triple chocolate muffin. Chilled, soft chocolate sponge with soft chocolate icing and sauce, often a mixture of milk, plain, and dark chocolate. To cover it in cream is to die and go to heaven. And then you can add chocolate ice cream to it too. Maybe some strawberries, or a cherry, and some chocolate sprinkles.

Plain, Ordinary, Boring Cake

Despite its name, the plain chocolate cake can be a close runner-up in the chocolate cake race. Two layers of chocolate sponge, separated by a chocolate fudge icing, and covered in a thinner chocolate icing. You can eat it as it is, take the icing out from the middle and eat it all separately, or shove it in a microwave and eat it hot with a spoon, the liquid icing running across it. Lovely. To the basic recipie you can add alcohol, almonds, orange or lemon, petty much anything you like.

There are hundreds of varities of chocolate cake, including chocolate cheesecake, many types of buns and muffins, rich cakes, low-fat cakes, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, white chocolate, chocolate toffee, chcolate orange, on and on and on.
