Great recipe for Elsie's seriously chocolate cake. My daughter and I had planned to cook a chocolate cake for a friend but wanted to make it really dark and delicious. So we went for a different recipe to usual and made some tweaks to make it even yummier.

Slip a knife around the edge of each pan, invert cakes onto a cooling rack and cool completely. To make the Icing: Melt the chocolate pieces gently in a bowl over simmering water in a pot. Grease with butter, then dust with cocoa powder, tapping out excess. This moist homemade chocolate cake is made completely from scratch and has incredible chocolate flavor.
Instructions to make Elsie's seriously chocolate cake:
- Put all the dry cake ingredients into a large bowl and mix well
- Add the eggs, milk, oil and vanilla extract and stir until fully mixed.
- Slowly add the boiling water and stir until mixed. The batter will seem quite thin at this stage.
- Line an 8 inch, loose bottomed, square tin with greaseproof paper and pour in your batter.
- Place the tin in a pre-heated oven at 180˚C and cook for 35-45 minutes. Check after 25 minutes and cover loosely with foil for the last 10 - 15 mintes if it looks like it is catching on the top.
- To make the icing, cream the butter with the sieved icing sugar and cocoa until fully incorporated.
- Add the nutella and a drop or two of vanilla essence. Finally, mix in the double cream and place in the fridge until the cake is cooked and cooled completely. You can adjust the balance of icing sugar and cocoa and cream depending on your tastes. We're not too keen on icing that is really swet so we put more cocoa and cream and less icing sugar! Taste as you go to get it just right for you.
- Take the icing out of the fridge 15 minutes before you want to use it. We only used half of the icing as we only wanted it on the top of the cake as it was already very moist but, if you like icing, slice the cake in half and put some in the middle too!
- The cake is best stored in the fridge as the icing as cream in it.
