Monster Chocolate Birthday Cake



Here is a recap of the recipe:

Ingredients:
1. For the cake:
- 250g self-raising flour
- 250g brown sugar
- 250g vegan margarine (we use soya)
- 5 generous tbsp of dark dark dark chocolate powder
- 250ml soya milk

2. For the cake covering:
- 200ml soya cream
- at least 200g dark dark dark chocolate

(Can you tell we like really dark chocolate?)

Instructions:
1. Cream together the "butter" and sugar. Gradually add soya (or any other non-dairy) milk and flour until well combined. Add the chocolate powder.
2. Pour into a greased tin (or a tin lined with baking parchment). Any shape will do, just make sure it's large enough.
3. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 ÂșC (gas mark 4) for a good 30 minutes. Keep checking to see if it is ready; depending on your oven, it may or may not take longer. Stick a toothpick or a knife in the cake and if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
4. While the cake is baking, heat the cream on the hob. DO NOT LET IT BOIL. When it looks like it is going to start boiling, remove from the heat and add the chocolate broken into bits. Stir until you get a smooth, dark cream. Let it cool.
5. When the cake has cooled down, pour the chocolate cream over it. Put the cake in the fridge for several hours to let the covering sit.

Ta-da! Serve this at a birthday party and we guarantee your cake will be devoured within minutes...
