Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

85 grams butter -- (3 oz) melted, plus extra for greasing

2 tablespoons golden syrup

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

300 grams self-raising flour -- (10 oz)

100 grams caster sugar -- (4 oz)

25 grams cocoa powder -- (1 oz)

1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

FOR THE CHOCOLATE GLAZE

100 grams dark chocolate -- (4 oz) broken into pieces

3 tablespoons golden syrup

 

1 Heat oven to 160 C/fan 140 C/gas 3 and grease and line a 20cm round cake tin. Tip the butter, syrup and vanilla into a heatproof jug, add 300 ml boiling water and briefly whisk with a fork to combine. Sift the flour, sugar, cocoa and bicarbonate of soda into a large bowl, then tip in the butter mix. Stir everything together until you have a smooth, lump-free batter, then scrape it into the prepared tin. Bake for 50-55 mins until the cake is well-risen and springy to touch, then cool in the tin for 15 mins before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

 

2 To make the glaze, put the chocolate and syrup into a small glass bowl with 3 tbsp of water, and microwave for 30 secs on High until melted and smooth. You can also make this by putting the chocolate and syrup in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Let cool, then pour over the cake before serving
