Perfect for birthdays, this
is a great recipe for an easy, foolproof chocolate cake. It’s moist and

- 1½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 2 free-range eggs

For the chocolate icing
- 200g/7oz plain chocolate

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.
