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.

    Made this today and found it very very easy and the cake was fantastically light and moist. I made the icing with milk rather than dark choc so not quite so rich, but seemed to go really well with the cake. Very impressed!
