Instructions
- 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
- Enjoy!
