Another Very Easy Chocolate Cake

[Amy :-)]

Quick Mix Chocolate Cake with Fudge Frosting
Converted from AWW

The recipe recommends all ingredients be at room temperature, but mine weren't

Ingredients:
185g butter
185g caster sugar (I used 110g brown sugar)
3 eggs
150g SR flour
75g plain flour
30g cocoa
125ml milk

Method:
1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Grease and line a 16cm x 26cm lamington tin (I used a 20cm round cake tin).
2. Put all ingredients in TMX and mix for 1 minute/speed 4. Scrape sides of bowl and mix for a further 30 seconds/speed 4 or until smooth.
3. Pour into prepared tin and bake for 30 minutes (mine took about 40). Cool for 5 minutes in tin before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Fudge Frosting:
60g dark cooking chocolate
15g butter
225g icing sugar
2 tbsp milk, approximately

Melt chocolate and butter for 1 minute/60 degrees or until smooth. Add icing sugar, set TMX to speed 2 and add dashes of milk through lid until frosting is smooth and spreadable. Spread over cake and decorate as desired

Great looking cake Amy

Thanks ladies

Judy, this one is for some friends who have been in the UK for nearly 5 weeks.... they get home tomorrow so I just dropped the cake off at their house. They will find it on the kitchen bench as soon as they get in
Good idea making a welcome home cake for DB though, I should do that when he comes down in a few weeks
I think he likes his meals at home... he eats the same thing every day up at university so it must be a shock for his tastebuds when he has proper homecooked meals and something different every night

A lovely gesture for your friends Amy.  They will be pleased I'm sure.

DB may wonder what's come over you if you decorate a cake like that for him  but it would be worth his reaction for you to give it a go.
