Chocolate chocolate cakes?

I don't usually bake, but there's an occasion coming up when I'd like to be able to make a stupendously delicious vegan cake to (1) enjoy for myself, and (2) wow the omnis at work. I desire a chocolate cake... but alas, I could not see a recipe on VegWeb that uses the real stuff instead of cocoa. It just ain't the same. :'(
There IS such a thing as vegan chocolate, is there not? If so, can it be used for baking? And if so, does anyone know how to use it in a cake? Please help me. Pretty please with chocolate on top. ;)
I've seen a Green and Black chocolate bar for baking in the HFS but I've never tried doing anything with it. They never make it that far. ::)
Hmmm no Whole Foods here in New Zealand. Dang.
Thanks anyway...
Just as well I only like velvety dark 70%+ chocolate anyway! :D
Mebbe I'll go out on a limb and experiment with one of the cocoa-cake recipes on VegWeb... using melted chocolate instead, and adding less liquid or something... I'll let you know how it goes.
