Ingredients
  1. For the cake:
  2. 150g cocoa powder
  3. 600ml boiling water
  4. 360g butter, softened
  5. 600g caster sugar
  6. 2tsp vanilla extract
  7. 6 eggs, room temperature
  8. 360g self raising flour
  9. 2tsp baking powder
  10. ½tsp bicarbonate of soda
  11. ½tsp salt
  12. For the buttercream:
  13. 250g butter, softened
  14. 500g icing sugar, sifted
  15. 200g dark chocolate plus extra
  16. 2tsp vanilla extract
  17. 2tbsp milk
Method
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4. Lightly grease and flour the 25cm round cake tins.
  • Combine the boiling water with the cocoa powder and stir until smooth. Leave to cool.
  • Sift the flour with the baking powder, baking soda and salt, set aside.
  • Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla then the eggs one at a time, beating well between each addition.
  • Add all of the flour, gently mix until just combined. Fold in the cooled cocoa.
  • Divide the mixture into the prepared cake tins and bake for 35 mins or until a cocktail stick inserted into the centre of each cake comes out clean. Loosen the edges with a knife to reduce cracking the cake as it cools and shrinks. Leave to cool for 20 mins then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • For the buttercream:
  • Melt the chocolate over a bain marie.
  • Cream the butter until smooth, gradually add the icing sugar and continue to cream until light and fluffy.
  • Add the chocolate and beat until combined. Finally add the vanilla and the milk, creaming until combined and the mixture is soft, add a little extra milk if you feel it is not a spreadable mixture.
  • Cut the tops off each cake and level. Using a palette knife spread a coating of buttercream onto the top of the bottom two cake layers. Sandwich the three layers together.
  • Spread a coating of buttercream over the top of the cake, then coat the sides. Garnish the top with grated chocolate.
