How to make an easy chocolate cake with chocolate frosting recipe

This is a delectable chocolate cake recipe that is simple to bake yet very impressive to serve to family and friends.

Chef uses Belgium milk chocolate to bake a fabulous cake that is filled and covered with a milk chocolate frosting.

The chocolate cake is soft, moist and bouncy like a compact sponge, the frosting is pure milk chocolate silk.

This tasty chocolate cake also has three layers to it baked in three 7 inch cake tins. If you only have two cake tins then this recipe can be make into a chocolate sandwich cake instead, please note two 7 inch tins will be too small so make sure both cake tins are 8 inches wide for a sandwich cake.

If you love milk chocolate and you love cake then you will love this delicious and easy recipe.

I used this excellent Trigger Ice Cream Scoop from Oxo Good Grips to serve up my ice cream.  I have three ice cream scoops, none of which have ever been terribly satisfactory, but this one scoops like a dream and the trigger action deposits the ice cream into your dish in a neat ball, it also goes in the dish washer which is a real bonus.
 The Chocolate Lime Curd ice cream was very creamy but the sharp lime flavour cut through the richness and the little nuggets of dark chocolate really did make it taste like those Chocolate Lime sweets from my childhood.


Im adding this post to the Fab First Fridays linky at London Unattached, a blog event to share your favourite post of the month. 


Many thanks to Claire for the Mackays Lime Curd and to Cherelle and Oxo Good Grips for providing the Trigger Ice Cream Scoop for review.  I was not paid for this review and my opinions are my own.
