Amazing Chocolate Cake - Courtesy Of Tanya Bakes!

Hi guys! Yesterday I made an AMAZING  chocolate cake using Tanya Burr's recipe. To make this cake you will need:

For the cake:
140g self-raising flour
170g butter
170g caster sugar
3 eggs
30g cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

For the inside icing:
60g butter
110g icing sugar
cocoa powder to taste

For the topping:
 A 200g bar of chocolate
to melt, and chocolates like smarties, white chocolate buttons or Malteasers to decorate


Method:
Pre-heat the oven to 180°C . Line two baking tins with baking parchment. Cream the butter and sugar together. Then add the eggs,sifted cocoa, flour and baking powder and mix well. Divide the mixture into two baking tins and pop into the oven for 18-20 minutes or until an inserted skewer comes out clean.

For the icing, whisk the butter, icing sugar and cocoa powder 
together and for the topping, melt the chocolate in a bowl over simmering water.

When the cake is cool, sandwich the two sides together with the icing and pour the melted chocolate over the top. Decorate with whatever you have in your cupboard - white chocolate buttons are amazing because they melt on top of the chocolate topping!

As you can see...the white chocolate buttons melted before I could get a photo of the cake!

I hope you enjoy baking this cake and comment down below for any more recipes and other ideas for me to blog about!
