Method

    I greased a 9 inch wide and 4 cm deep round tin (use a cake tin to your preferance). Preheat the Oven to Gas Mark 4/180 for electrical /160 for electrical with a fan

    Break the eggs into a cup/bowl, whisk for a little then add the milk, whisk some more, add the vanilla extract/essence and whisk for the last time (You can use a fork)
  • STEP 5
    Cream the butter and sugar (I used an electrical whisk) then add 3/4 of the cocoa/flour mix. Whisk that in until a darkish brown colour remains.
  • STEP 6
    Add the Egg/Milk/Vanilla mix and whisk into the batter
  • STEP 7
    Add the remaining Cocoa/flour mix and whisk well
  • STEP 8
    Slip the cake mix into the greased tin and cook in the oven for 30- 40 minutes
  • STEP 9
    Once the cake has cooked leave it to cool in the tin for at least 15 - 20 minutes then put it onto a cooling tray to completely cool
  • STEP 10
    Now for the icing, Add the icing to a clean bowl, then add the water a bit at a time until it is not to stiff but not too runny. Then drizzle the icing over the cake and enjoy!
