Ingredients
Ingredients
- plain chocolate broken into chunks (use one with a low cocoa content - we used Waitrose plain Belgian chocolate)
- butter
- light brown muscovado sugar
- soured cream
- 2 eggs beaten
- self-raising flour
- cocoa powder
- hundreds and thousands to decorate
- plain chocolate (for icing)
- can condensed milk (for icing)
- butter (for icing)
Directions
Start by preheating your oven to 160C (140C fan/gas 3) and lining a 22cm square tin with baking paper. In a large pan, gently melt the chocolate, butter, and sugar with 100ml of hot water until smooth and glossy; let it rest for 2 minutes before stirring in the soured cream and eggs. Gently whisk in the flour and cocoa until your batter is perfectly smooth, then pour it into the tin and bake for 50-55 minutes until a skewer comes out clean—let it cool on a wire rack and enjoy the wonderful aroma!
While your cake bakes, create a silky icing by gently melting the ingredients together in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, then simply let it cool or chill until it reaches a perfect, spreadable consistency.
To finish your masterpiece, carefully turn out the cooled cake and peel away the parchment. Smooth the delicious icing over the top, scatter with plenty of hundreds and thousands for a pop of color, and cut into fun triangles or fingers for a treat everyone will love!
