For the Icing:
- 200g (7oz) dark chocolate
- 200ml (7fl oz) double cream

Step-by-Step Instructions
Preheat the Oven
Before you begin, preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan/350°F/gas 4). Grease and line two 20cm (8in) sandwich tins.
Melt the Chocolate
Break the dark chocolate into pieces and melt it with the butter in a heatproof bowl over simmering water. Allow it to cool slightly.
Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, sift the self-raising flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder together.
Beat the Eggs
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and golden caster sugar until light and fluffy.
Combine the Mixtures
Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the beaten eggs and sugar, stirring gently. Add the sifted dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
Add Milk
Stir in the milk to achieve a smooth consistency.
Divide and Bake
Divide the mixture between the prepared cake tins and smooth the tops. Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes or until the cakes spring back when touched.
Prepare the Icing
While the cakes are baking, prepare the icing. Melt the dark chocolate, double cream, and golden syrup together until smooth.
Assemble the Cake
Once the cakes are cooled, spread a layer of icing on top of one cake and sandwich the second cake on top. Use the remaining icing to cover the top and sides of the cake.
