By Karen_uk1 recipe

Speedy but so yummy.

Ingredients

8oz self raising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
8oz butter
8oz caster sugar
3 eggs
4 tablespoons cocoa powder
200g melted chocolate

Instructions

Preheat oven to 190c.
Put all ingredients into a mixer and blend until smooth.
Pour into two 7 inch cake pans.
Bake for 25-30 mins, turn out straight away and allow to cool on a wire rack.
This cake is great for covering in fondant, buttercream, ganache etc.
Very often the filling and topping I use is ganache, it’s incredible.
