Method
-
step 1
Heat the oven to 170C/150C fan/gas 3 and line a 20x30cm rectangular cake tin with baking parchment.
-
step 2
Beat the egg yolks with the icing sugar and then gradually beat in 5 tbsp of hot water.
-
step 3
Mix all the dry ingredients and add them to the egg yolks a tablespoon at a time, alternating with the oil. Whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks and gently fold in to the cake mix.
-
step 4
Pour the batter into the tin and bake for 15-20 mins, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Leave to cool.
-
step 5
For the cream, beat the butter, soft cheese and sugar until smooth and spread it evenly over the cooled sponge.
-
step 6
For the icing, melt the chocolate with butter in a heatproof bowl over a pan of just-boiling water, making sure the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Pour the icing over the surface of the cream. Let it set in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving.
