Our Favourite Squidgy Chocolate Fudge Cake

Ingredients
  

For the cake

  • 175 g self-raising flour
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 150 g caster sugar
  • 2 tbsp golden syrup
  • 2 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 150 ml sunflower oil
  • 150 ml semi-skimmed milk

For the icing

  • 100 g softened unsalted butter
  • 225 g icing sugar
  • 40 g cocoa
  • 2-3 tbsp milk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C and grease and line two 8 inch sandwich tins.
  • Sift the flour, cocoa and baking powder into a large bowl, then stir in the sugar, before adding the eggs and wet ingredients. Whisk to combine into a smooth batter and pour into the prepared tins, then bake for around 20 minutes until cooked and springy to the touch.
  • To make the icing, sift the icing sugar into a large bowl, then beat in the butter and enough of the milk to create a fluffy buttercream. Sandwich the cakes together with half the buttercream, then top with rest before decorating with tiny eggs (and in this case, one of our lovely Gisela Graham rabbit egg cups!).
