Instructions

  1. Sieve flour, cocoa and Bicarb into a bowl.
  2. Melt Butter Sugar and Golden Syrup on a low heat in a saucepan. Do not allow to boil.
  3. Once melted remove from the heat and pour the butter into the flour mixture.
  4. Add the milk and with a wooden spoon beat all ingredients until a smooth batter consistency.
  5. Lightly grease and line a 8 inch cake tin. Bake in a moderate oven (gas mark 4 or 180C) for 30 minutes. Or if you have two separate sandwich cake tins, divide the mixture between the two and bake a moderate oven (gas mark 4 or 180C) for 18-20 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
  6. Once baked, remove and cool completely. If using a single cake tin cut into 2 layers.
  7. Mix together the butter icing and add your liqueur (to your taste).
  8. Spread butter icing on the bottom layer of the cake, using the top layer to complete the cake.
