Ingredients
- 100g milk chocolate
- 100g dark chocolate
- 200g butter
- 100g soft light brown sugar
- 100ml water
- 100ml soured cream
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1-2 tbsps KanKun habanero sauce
- 200g self raising flour, sifted
- 5 tbsps cocoa powder, sifted
- 600g icing sugar
- 300g unsalted butter at room temperature
- 3-4 tbsps cocoa powder
Method
- Heat the oven to Gas Mark 4/180C/350F and prepare two 20cm sandwich cake tins with baking paper.
- In a large saucepan, melt together the chocolate, butter and sugar with the water on a very low heat until all the ingredients are combined, then leave to cool for 5 minutes.
- Stir in the soured cream, eggs and KanKun habanero sauce followed by the flour and cocoa powder. Mix until you have a smooth cake batter with no lumps.
- Pour into the sandwich tins, being careful not to overfill them.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Allow to cool completely. - Meanwhile, beat the icing sugar, butter and cocoa powder together to make the butter cream – you can add a little milk to achieve a looser consistency if you prefer.
- Spread one third of the butter cream on one of the cakes, then place the other cake on top and decorate with the rest of the butter cream.
