Category   Desserts - Breads
Sub Category   None
Servings   1 cake
Preptime   30-40 min

Ingredients
225g/8oz plain flour
350g/12˝oz caster sugar
85g/3oz cocoa powder
1˝ tsp baking powder
1˝ tsp bicarbonate of soda
2 free-range eggs
250ml/9fl oz milk
125ml/4˝fl oz vegetable oil
2 tsp vanilla extract
 
250ml/9fl oz boiling water
For the chocolate icing-
200g/7oz plain chocolate
200ml/7fl oz double cream

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Grease and line two 20cm/8in sandwich tins. For the cake, place all of the cake ingredients, except the boiling water, into a large mixing bowl. Using a wooden spoon, or electric whisk, beat the mixture until smooth and well combined.Add the boiling water to the mixture, a little at a time, until smooth. (The cake mixture will now be very liquid.)Divide the cake batter between the sandwich tins and bake in the oven for 25-35 minutes, or until the top is firm to the touch and a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.Remove the cakes from the oven and allow to cool completely, still in their tins, before icing.For the chocolate icing, heat the chocolate and cream in a saucepan over a low heat until the chocolate melts. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk the mixture until smooth, glossy and thickened. Set aside to cool for 1-2 hours, or until thick enough to spread over the cake.
To assemble the cake, run a round-bladed knife around the inside of the cake tins to loosen the cakes. Carefully remove the cakes from the tins. Spread a little chocolate icing over the top of one of the chocolate cakes, then carefully top with the other cake. Transfer the cake to a serving plate and ice the cake all over with the chocolate icing, using a palette knife.
