Chocolate Cake! (Not mine.)

[center]Ok. My first recipe is chocolate cake. ;3
Perfect for birthdays, this is a great recipe for an easy,
foolproof chocolate cake. It’s moist and fudgy and will keep
well for 4-5 days.
Ingredients
For the cake
225g/8oz plain flour
350g/12½oz caster sugar
85g/3oz cocoa powder
1½ tsp baking powder
1½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
2 free-range eggs
250ml/9fl oz milk
125ml/4½fl oz vegetable oil
2 tsp vanilla extract
250ml/9fl oz boiling water
For the chocolate icing
200g/7oz plain chocolate
200ml/7fl oz double cream
Preparation method
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Grease and line two
20cm/8in sandwich tins.
Technique: Greasing and lining cake tins
For the cake, place all of the cake ingredients, except the
boiling water, into a large mixing bowl. Using a wooden spoon,
or electric whisk, beat the mixture until smooth and well
combined.
Add the boiling water to the mixture, a little at a time, until
smooth. (The cake mixture will now be very liquid.)
Divide the cake batter between the sandwich tins and bake in the
oven for 25-35 minutes, or until the top is firm to the touch
and a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out
clean.
Remove the cakes from the oven and allow to cool completely,
still in their tins, before icing.
For the chocolate icing, heat the chocolate and cream in a
saucepan over a low heat until the chocolate melts. Remove the
pan from the heat and whisk the mixture until smooth, glossy and
thickened. Set aside to cool for 1-2 hours, or until thick
enough to spread over the cake.
To assemble the cake, run a round-bladed knife around the inside
of the cake tins to loosen the cakes. Carefully remove the cakes
from the tins.
Technique: Removing cakes from a cake tin
Spread a little chocolate icing over the top of one of the
chocolate cakes, then carefully top with the other cake.
Transfer the cake to a serving plate and ice the cake all over
with the chocolate icing, using a palette knife.
Technique: Icing a cake with chocolate ganache
