Chocolate Fudge Cake!

OH has been taken such good care of me while I've been poorly I decided to treat him to his favourite pudding today.
This is what the house smelled like when he came home after Cassie's afternoon walk...do you think I'm in the good books?

No your not in the good books.......... unless you send me some

You should have seen me trying to keep him away from it

Oh that looks wonderful. Pass me a slice please!

Me....me...me...me!

You would definately be in my good books if you had made me that
yum yum

No problem

Thought you'd be looking for a piece

It's gorgeous as well. He's a happy boy

There wont be any left now, but can you send the recipe

I shall post the recipe! It's fool proof!

Fudgy Chocolate Layer Cake

75g (3 oz) plain chocolate broken into pieces
200 ml (7 fl oz) milk
250g (9 oz) dark muscovado sugar
75g (3 oz) butter, softened
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
150g (5 oz) plain flour
25g (1 oz) cocoa
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

Icing and Decoration
100g (4 oz) butter, softened
200g (7 oz) icing sugar
100g (4 oz) plain chocolate, melted
1 tbsp milk
grated chocolate to decorate.

Preheat oven to 180c/350f/gas 4. Grease and line
2 x20cm sandwich tins.
Put the chocolate, milk and 75g (3 oz) muscovado sugar into a saucepan. Heat gently until the chocolate and sugar have melted. Allow to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and remaining sugar together until pale and creamy. Gradually beat in the eggs, vanilla essence and the chocolate milk.
Sift together the flour, cocoa and bicarbonate of soda. Gently fold into the cake mixture using a figure-of-eight action to incorporate as much air as possible.
Turn into the prepared tins and bake for 30-35 minutes. Turn out onto a wire rack and leave to cool completely.
For the icing, beat the butter and sugar together. Gradually mix in the melted chocolate and milk.
Sandwich the cakes together with one third of the icing. Using the rest, coat the top and sides Sprinkle with grated chocolate and serve.

This is a very rich cake so I usually cut into 10 slices. I also don't think the grated chocolate on the top is necessary but depends on what you like.
I've also done another version where I use raspberry jam between the cakes and chocolate on the top and sides.
Enjoy
