Chocolate Drizzle

Method

• step 1

  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

• step 2

  Use a large bowl to weigh out the butter and sugar

• step 3

  Weigh out the flour and the cocoa powder in another bowl and mix together until well incorperated

• step 4

  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!
