1. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder & mayonaise. This is best done by an electric food mixer to ensure the mixture is throughly mixed.
2. Dissolve the cocoa in the boiling water & stir into the mixture along with the essence until throughly blended.
3. Place the mixture into a 7 inch greased & lined cake tin.
4. Bake at gas mark 4/ 180C/ 350F for 30 - 40 minutes. Test with a skewer.
5. cool in the tin before removing.
6. For the icing - If you are using Betty Crocker ready mix chocolate frosting go straight to step 9.
7. Dissolve the coffee & cocoa in the hot water.
8. Cream together the margarine/butter & icing sugar. Beat in the cocoa liquid.
9. Spread over the top & sides.

  Hi guys, apologies! but I'm new & jsut finding my way round. Hope this is how I rely ? I thought I had entered the amounts of ingredients .... 10 oz (285g) self raising flour, 8oz (225g) sugar, 7oz (200g) mayonaise. fFor the icing - 3oz (85g) margarine/butter, 8 oz (225g) icing sugar. I only have ingredients in ounces & I used the sites converter to change them & I think this is why they don't show. I'll give it another go. Thanks for letting me know. Hope you try the recipe. Enjoy x
