          Title: Easy Chocolate Cake   
     Categories: Cakes, Nut-free, Vegetarian   
          Yield: 1 Cake   
      
        225 g  Plain flour   
        350 g  Caster sugar   
         85 g  Cocoa powder   
      1 1/2 ts Baking powder   
      1 1/2 ts Bicarbonate of soda   
          2    Free-range eggs   
        250 ml Milk   
        125 ml Vegetable oil   
          2 ts Vanilla extract   
        250 ml Water; boiling   
        200 g  Plain chocolate;   
               - broken into pieces   
        200 ml Double cream   
      
     Preheat the oven to 180?C/160?C Fan/Gas 4. Grease and line two   
     20 cm sandwich tins.   
      
     Cake:   
      
     Place all of the cake ingredients, except the boiling water into a   
     large mixing bowl. Using a wooden spoon, or electric whisk, beat   
     the mixture until smooth and well combined.   
      
     Add the boiling water to the mixture, a little at a time, until   
     smooth. The cake mixture will now be very liquid.   
      
     Divide the cake batter between sandwich tins and bake in the oven   
     for 25 to 35 minutes, or until the top is firm to the touch, and a   
     skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.   
      
     Remove the cakes from the oven and allow to cool completely, still   
     in their tins, before icing.   
      
     Chocolate Ganache:   
      
     Heat the chocolate and cream in a saucepan over a low heat until   
     the chocolate melts. Remove the pan from the heat, and whisk the   
     mixture until smooth, glossy, and thickened. Set aside to cool for   
     1 to 2 hours, or until thick enough to spread over cake.   
      
     To Assemble:   
      
     Run a round-bladed knife around the inside of the cake tins to   
     loosen the cakes. Carefully remove the cakes from the tins.   
      
     Spread a little chocolate ganache over the top of one of the   
     chocolate cakes, then carefully top with the other cake.   
      
     Transfer the cake to a serving plate, and ice the cake all over   
     with the chocolate ganache, using a pallete knife.
