- Preheat oven to 180 degrees C. Grease and flour two round cake tins. In a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, melt together the chocolate and cream.
- Cream together the butter and sugar. Beat in eggs, one at a time. In a different bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder and bicarb soda. Slowly sift into the wet egg mixture.
- Pour into greased tins and bake until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Allow to cool on a cooling rack before icing.
- Cream together the butter, cream and vanilla until soft. Beat in the icing sugar and the cocoa then continue beating until fluffy. Spread between two cakes and over the top.
