Preparation method

3. For the 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./ Masukkan semua bahan kecuali air panas dalam mangkuk yang besar.

6. Remove the cakes from the oven and allow to cool completely, still in their tins, before icing./ Keluarkan kek dari oven dan biarkan sejuk. 

For the chocolate icing, 

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 1-2 hours, or until thick enough to spread over the cake.

To assemble the cake 

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

Technique: Removing cakes from a cake tin

Spread a little chocolate icing 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 icing, using a palette knife.
