Telling a recipe for a cake

Ultimate chocolate cake

• Ingredients For the chocolate sponge 50g dark chocolate (about 70% cocoa solids), chopped (optional) 100ml milk 30g cocoa powder, sifted 125g soft margarine, eg Stork, plus extra to grease 125g caster sugar 2 large eggs, beaten 1 tsp vanilla extract 125g self-raising flour, sifted

• For the chocolate buttercream 50g dark chocolate (about 70% cocoa solids), chopped, plus extra for shaving (optional) 100g soft butter 250g icing sugar, sifted 2 tbsp milk ¼ tsp instant coffee dissolved in ½ tsp boiling water

Put the chocolate (if using) in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water, and leave to melt. Stir until smooth and set aside to cool slightly. In a separate bowl, gradually mix the milk into the cocoa powder to make a thin paste. Grease and base-line 2 x 18cm loose-based sponge tins. Preheat the oven to 190°C, fan 170°C, gas 5. Cream together the margarine and sugar until light and fluffy, using an electric hand whisk. Add the beaten eggs and vanilla, a little at a time. Fold in the sifted flour and a pinch of salt, then add the cooled melted chocolate, if using, and the cocoa paste, and continue to fold in well using a large metal spoon. Don’t be tempted to beat the mixture, as you will lose the valuable air incorporated during the creaming. Divide equally between the 2 tins, level the tops, then bake for 15-18 minutes until the cakes are risen and springy to the touch. Cool in the tins for 5 minutes, then loosen the edges with a knife and turn out onto wire racks. Remove and discard the base paper. For the buttercream, melt the chocolate as before, then cool. Cream the butter until really soft, using an electric whisk, then add the icing sugar, milk, coffee and a pinch of salt. Beat until smooth, then mix in the cooled melted chocolate. Add a little more milk if the icing seems too thick. Sandwich the cooled cakes together with the chocolate buttercream and spread more on top and the sides. Use a vegetable peeler to shave some chocolate over the top of the cake to decorate, if you like.
