    Method

    • step 1

      Pre-heat the oven to 180.c and line 2 x 20cm sandwich tins with baking parchment and butter the sides to stop the mixture sticking.
    • step 2

      Place all the cake ingredients into a food processor and mix until smooth, scraping down the sides and re-mixing until well combined.
    • step 3

      Divide the mixture between the two cake tins and bake in the oven for 30 minutes until cooked through and springy to touch. Leave for a couple of minutes and then turn out onto a wired rack to cool completely.
    • step 4

      Meanwhile make the fudge frosting icing by placing all the ingredients into the cleaned food processor and mix until smooth, again scraping down the sides and re-mixing until well combined.
    • step 5

      Sandwich the two sponges together with around a 1/3 of the frosting, add a further 1/3 to the top and a 1/3 to the sides of the cakes, smoothing as best you can with a spatular until the entire cake is covered with fudge frosting.
    • step 6

      Decorate the cake with chocolate shavings and fudge pieces and the devour with your loved ones. This cake should serve 10.

    Hi, thanks for your question. We haven't tried freezing this but it should freeze fine. Also please note there's currently an error in the ingredients list under 'Fudge Frosting Ingredients'. The ingredients for the fudge frosting should just show as follows:

    200g softened butter 200g icing…

    question

    Why does the frosting say 50g of melted dark chocolate and then 200g of melted dark chocolate? I'm confused 🤔

    A delicious cake, now made twice in two weeks. Yesterday's though was excellent... lowered the heat to 170°C & 21 mins cooking time! Went down a treat 🤗 Covered in shavings of milk chocolate, some large chocolate buttons and little marshmallows!
