Special equipment • 2 x 8in (20cm) round sandwich tins • electric hand whisk or mixer
SERVES 8–12
1¾ cups self-rising flour
¼ cupunsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
4 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar, plus 2 tbsp
8oz (225g) butter, at room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
For the chocolate fudge icing
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1¼ cup confectioners’ sugar
4 tbsp butter, melted
3 tbsp milk, plus little extra if needed
Method:
1 Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease two 8in (20cm) round cake pans, then line with parchment paper. Sift the flour, cocoa, and baking powder into a large bowl. With an electric mixer, beat in the eggs, sugar, butter, and vanilla until well blended. Mix in 2 tablespoons hot tap water. If the batter is too firm to easily drop off the beaters, add up to 2 more tablespoons of hot water. Divide the batter evenly between the pans and smooth the tops.
2 Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until risen and firm. Let cool in the pans for 5 minutes before unmolding onto racks to cool completely.
3 Meanwhile, to make the icing, sift the cocoa powder and confectioners’ sugar into a bowl, add the butter and milk, and beat until smooth. Add a little extra milk if the mixture is too thick to spread easily. Place one cooled cake layer on a serving plate and spread with half of the icing. Align the second layer on top of the first, and spread with the remaining icing, leaving the sides unfrosted.
