Instructions
To make the cake:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C. Grease and line a 20cm cake tin.
- Sift the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl, and add the sugar. Use a whisk to combine.
- Add the eggs, milk, warm water, and oil, whisking again until everything is well combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, allow the cake to completely cool on a wire rack.
- When the cake is completely cool, use a serrated knife to cut off the domed top of the cake, and then slice the cake horizontally into two.
To make the icing:
- Beat together the softened butter and vanilla for 5 minutes or until creamy and much lighter in colour.
- Sift in half of the icing sugar and beat to combine. Repeat with the remaining icing sugar and cocoa powder.
- If the icing appears dry, beat in the milk.
To decorate:
- Use a spatula to spread icing on top of the first cake layer, placing the second cake layer on top. Cover the sides and top of the cake with a thin layer of icing to create a crumb coat. Place in the fridge to chill for 15 minutes.
- Once the icing is hard to the touch, spread the remainder of the icing on the cake.
- Add the Chocolate Fingers vertically around the cake. Decorate with any berries, lollies, or sprinkles of choice.
