Takes 1 hour 20 minutes to make, plus cooling
Ingredients
100g spreadable butter, plus extra for greasing
250ml milk
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
100g plain chocolate, melted
15g cocoa powder, sifted
300g self-raising flour, sifted
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda, sifted
225g golden caster sugar
2 eggs
For the icing
225g plain chocolate, broken up
100g butter
142ml carton double cream
Method: How to make chocolate fudge cake
Preheat the oven to 180C/fan160C/gas 4.
Grease a 20cm round, deep cake tin and line with baking paper.
Mix the milk and vinegar.
Place all the other cake ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Pour in the milk mixture and beat with an electric hand whisk, until smooth.
Spread into the cake tin and bake for 1 hour, until firm in the centre.
Cool for 10 minutes, then turn out on a rack to cool completely.
2. Meanwhile, make the icing.
Melt the chocolate and butter together in the microwave for 3 minutes on medium, stirring halfway through. Alternatively, melt the chocolate and butter in a bowl over a pan of just simmering water. Stir until smooth, then beat in the cream. Cool slightly.
3. Halve the cake through the middle. Spread a quarter of the icing on 1 half and sandwich together. Spread the rest over the top and sides.
The cake will keep for up to 3 days in an airtight box.
