Cooking Instructions

1 hour

1

Preheat your oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3. Grease and line 2x20cm sandwich tins.
2

Mix the flour, sugar and cocoa together. Melt the chocolate and butter and the 200ml water together over a low heat then beat this along with the eggs into the dry ingredients.
3

Pour this into the tins and bake for approximately 40 minutes until well risen. If you insert a knife into the cake and it comes out clean then this is well done. Transfer to wire racks and allow to cool.
4

While the cake is cooling make the butter cream. Beat the butter until creamy then add 300g icing sugar and vanilla. Mix this well and if the mixture is a bit dry apply a tablespoon of milk at a time. If this is too wet then apply more icing sugar.
5

Blitz all but one of the cookies. Mix half into the butter cream and reserve the other half.
6

Spread the butter icing between the two cakes. Also apply this over the top of the cake when they are sandwiched together. Sprinkle the remaining of the crumbs over the top of the cake. Then split the last cookie into four and add to the top.
