Process
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180°C fan-forced. Grease and line the base and sides of a 24cm round springform cake pan.
Step 2
Place chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan half-filled with simmering water. Stir for 5 minutes or until melted. Set aside for 5 minutes to cool slightly.
Step 3
Use electric beaters to beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
Step 4
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add in the melted chocolate and beat until well combined.
Step 5
Sift flour, cocoa, baking soda into the chocolate mixture and then add milk, beating until well combined.
Step 6
Pour the cake mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the surface.
Step 7
Bake for 55-60 minutes until risen and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
To make the chocolate icing, place the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan half-filled with simmering water. Stir for 5 minutes or until melted and smooth. Remove from heat then slowly add in the icing sugar and stir well. Set the frosting aside for 5 minutes or until firm and then once cake is cooled spread the frosting over the top of the cake. Serve.
