Method

  1. Heat the oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas mark 3. Butter and base line a deep-sided rectangular tin about 15 x 30cm.
  2. Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda. Add the remaining cake ingredients and beat to a smooth consistency. Spoon the mixture into the tin and bake for 30 minutes until just firm to touch and a skewer comes out clean when pushed into the centre. Cool for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.
  3. For the icing, melt the chocolate and butter over a pan of simmering water or in the microwave on low. Stir in the cream until the mixture is smooth and shiny. Cool for 5-10 minutes then spread over the top of the cake. Decorate with sweets cut into squares or slices. Store at room temperature to keep the topping soft.
