My experience with chocolate cakes is that if you really want it
chocolatey you pretty much have to use Actual Chocolate.  Although I
suspect that just substituting the cocoa with real chocolate would screw
up the dry ingredients proportions...  Possibly worth trying a straight
substitution first though to see what happens.  

I am tempted to give this a go at the weekend :-)
