Happy Birthday Mr H, hope you enjoy the cake i made you!
After receiving such a awesome present, i couldn’t wait but try it out! I got home about 11pm last night and got to work baking a basic chocolate cake using my mixer. It’s perfect for what i need, but my mum’s kenwood seems more powerful, even though it’s over 20 years old, but it’s also heaps heavier too, not something i could carry myself and pack away easily. I LOVE MY NEW TOY!! Thanks again to my lovely Big Bro, Little Bro & Little Sis 
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
100 g dark cooking Chocolate (melted)
1 1/4 cup self raising flour
2 tbsp cocoa powder
1/2 cup milk
250 g dark cooking chocolate (extra)
1 1/2 cup cream
Preheat oven to 180oc. Beat butter and sugar until creamy, beat in eggs one at a time. Beat in cooled dark chocolate. Fold in sifted flour and cocoa powder alternately with milk.
Spoon mixture into lined 20cm, spring release round cake tin. Bake 45-50 minutes until cooked. Remove from tin, cool on wire rack.
Melt and cool 50g of the extra dark chocolate, combine with half cup cream, beat until thick.

Melt together remaining dark cooking chocolate and cream; allow to cool, refrigerate until of spreading consistency, spread over cake.
