YES pls Sorcha, and you CAN do mine with hot water, but it's better with coffee, we think.

There is also something called Depression Cake, which I think has no milk or eggs - cocoa, sugar, cooking oil, and water, maybe some flour, looks really strange, you make it IN the pan you're going to cook it in so no mess at all, and comes out fabulously delicious, plain chocolate cake. Will definitely have to go through my recipes.

One of my sisters also makes chocolate-filled cream puff ring, where you make pâte à choux (puff pastry) as if for profiteroles or something, make a huge ring, poke with millions of holes with a toothpick as soon as it comes out of the oven so the steam doesn't soften the pastry, cut in half horizonally and scoop out all the insides, fill with chocolate cream, put top back on and drizzle dark chocolate all over the top. Serves many many people as very rich, also.
