Gluten Free Chocolate Fudge Cake

Method

• step 1

  Pre-heat the oven to 180.c and line 2 x 20cm sandwich tins with baking parchment and butter the sides to stop the mixture sticking.

  Place all the cake ingredients into a food processor and mix until smooth, scraping down the sides and re-mixing until well combined.

• step 3

  Divide the mixture between the two cake tins and bake in the oven for 30 minutes until cooked through and springy to touch. Leave for a couple of minutes and then turn out onto a wired rack to cool completely.

  Meanwhile make the fudge frosting icing by placing all the ingredients into the cleaned food processor and mix until smooth, again scraping down the sides and re-mixing until well combined.

• step 5

  Sandwich the two sponges together with around a 1/3 of the frosting, add a further 1/3 to the top and a 1/3 to the sides of the cakes, smoothing as best you can with a spatular until the entire cake is covered with fudge frosting.

• step 6

  Decorate the cake with chocolate shavings and fudge pieces and the devour with your loved ones. This cake should serve 10.
