so good, never thought i could make such a cake. Just a question - where is it stored best?
CHELSEA SUGAR: Hi there, in cooler weather this cake is great stored in an airtight container at room temperature. In the warmer months, you may wish to store it in the fridge if not consuming within a day or two.

Cake was cooked in 50 minutes. I used melted Whittaker's Creamy Milk Chocolate mixed with melted butter and a little hot water for icing.

I did 1 hour 10 mins on 175 to be 'safe' and it was burnt to an absolute crisp. 50 to 55 mins would be ample. Am kicking myself for trusting the recipe and not checking it after 40 mins. The 1 star is for wasting my ingredients Chelsea.

Cooked for about 1 hr 15min & it was moist. I did find it didn't rise all that much so wasn't a very high cake. Went down very well at a kids party & lots of positive comments.

CHELSEA SUGAR: Hi there, in cooler weather this cake is great stored in an airtight container at room temperature. In the warmer months, you may wish to store it in the fridge if not consuming within a day or two.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (reduce to 160 for fan forced).
Grease and line a 23-25cm cake tin with baking paper.
Icing Method
Place Chelsea Icing Sugar and cocoa powder in a medium bowl and stir to combine.
Add softened butter and pour some of the hot water over the top.
Mix together, adding more water as required to achieve a smooth, spreadable consistency.
Spread over the top of the cooled cake.
Note: This is a very runny mixture - don't be alarmed the first time you make it.
