Instructions
how_make
Heat over to 150C fan
Place all cocoa powder and 100g sugar into bowl and whisk in the boiling water until smooth
Melt the Stork with the remaining sugar. Add in the chocolate and slowly melt together
Pour over the sugar mixture, and beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until fully combined
Sieve in the flour, bicarbonate of soda and baking powder and gently fold in
Divide equally between x2 23cm cake tins (lined and greased) and bake for 30 minutes until a skewer comes out clean
To make the ganache, place a bowl above a pan of simmering water and melt both chocolates together with the Stork
Once the chocolate has cooled, whisk in the Elmlea Double a couple of tablespoons at a time
Once the cake has cooked and cooled completely, spread a third of the icing in the centre, sandwich the cakes and then spread remainder of the ganache on top of the cake (and around the sides if preferred)
To truly bring out the chocolate flavour, use our #StorkSecrets and sprinkle a healthy dash of salt
