Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ðF (177ðC) (Gas Mark 4).
  2. Grease and line two 8-inch sandwich tins with parchment paper.
  3. Sieve together the self-raising flour and drinking chocolate into a large bowl.
  4. In a separate bowl, cream the margarine and caster sugar together until light and fluffy.
  5. Beat in the eggs a little at a time, adding a tablespoon of the flour mixture with each addition to prevent curdling.
  6. Fold in the remaining flour and chocolate mixture, then stir in the hot water until well combined.
  7. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared tins and smooth the tops.
  8. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the surface springs back when lightly pressed.
  9. Remove the cakes from the tins and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
  10. For the filling, mix 2 oz margarine, 2 oz drinking chocolate, and 4 oz icing sugar with a little water or milk until smooth and light.
  11. Spread the buttercream filling over one cake layer and sandwich the two layers together.
  12. For the icing, mix 6 oz icing sugar and 2 oz drinking chocolate with 2 tablespoons of water to form a thick paste.
  13. Spoon the icing over the top of the sandwiched cake, letting it drip down the sides, and serve.
