Title: Easy Chocolate Cake
Categories: Cakes, Nut-free, Vegetarian
Yield: 1 Cake

225 g Plain flour
350 g Caster sugar
85 g Cocoa powder
1 1/2 ts Baking powder
1 1/2 ts Bicarbonate of soda
2 Free-range eggs
250 ml Milk
125 ml Vegetable oil
2 ts Vanilla extract
250 ml Water; boiling
200 g Plain chocolate;
- broken into pieces
200 ml Double cream

Preheat the oven to 180?C/160?C Fan/Gas 4. Grease and line two
20 cm sandwich tins.

Cake:

Place all of the cake ingredients, except the boiling water into a
large mixing bowl. Using a wooden spoon, or electric whisk, beat
the mixture until smooth and well combined.

Add the boiling water to the mixture, a little at a time, until
smooth. The cake mixture will now be very liquid.

Divide the cake batter between sandwich tins and bake in the oven
for 25 to 35 minutes, or until the top is firm to the touch, and a
skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.

Remove the cakes from the oven and allow to cool completely, still
in their tins, before icing.

Chocolate Ganache:

Heat the chocolate and cream in a saucepan over a low heat until
the chocolate melts. Remove the pan from the heat, and whisk the
mixture until smooth, glossy, and thickened. Set aside to cool for
1 to 2 hours, or until thick enough to spread over cake.

To Assemble:

Run a round-bladed knife around the inside of the cake tins to
loosen the cakes. Carefully remove the cakes from the tins.

Spread a little chocolate ganache over the top of one of the
chocolate cakes, then carefully top with the other cake.

Transfer the cake to a serving plate, and ice the cake all over
with the chocolate ganache, using a pallete knife.
