I actually got this recipe out of the Daily Mail when the whole "Britain's Best Baker" thing was going on. I have tweaked it a little though because it seemed more complicated than it needed to be!
You will need:
20g (1oz) cocoa powder
100g (40z) butter
100g (4oz) self raising flour
150g (50z) caster sugar
2 Medium eggs
1) Cream the butter & sugar
2) Beat in the eggs
3) Add the cocoa powder & stir well
4) Add in the flour & stir well again
4) Pour the mixture in to cases and put in a preheated oven at 170 / Gas 4 for 20-25 minutes!
This made 7 cakes for me!
For the frosting I made chocolate ganache! I've never made this type of frosting before but it was so simple & it's soooo rich & chocolatey!
To make the ganache you will need:
50ml (2fl oz) double cream7
60g (2.5 oz) milk chocolate
1) Break the chocolate up into very small pieces
2) Pour the cream into a small pan & heat until boiling
3) Once the cream is boiling add the chocolate & stir well until the mixture is smooth & shiny.
4) Take off the heat & leave to cool
5) Spread or pipe the ganache onto the cakes!
