Ingredients

225g self-raising flour

1 level tsp baking powder

235g butter, softened

175g soft brown sugar

3 large free-range eggs

3 tbsp milk

100g pack Asda Milk Chocolate Chunks or White Chocolate Chunks

175g icing sugar

1 level tbsp cocoa powder

1 tbsp golden syrup

85g pack Silverspoon Caramel Fudge Chunks

Method

1
Pre-heat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 6. Line a shallow cake tin or small roasting tin, about 20cm x 24cm, with baking paper and set aside.
2
Sift the flour and baking powder together into a large bowl. Add 175g butter, the brown sugar, eggs and 2 tbsp milk. Beat until evenly mixed.
3
Stir in the milk or white chocolate chunks. Put into the lined tin and level the top.
4
Bake for 40 minutes or until the top springs back when lightly pressed. Leave to cool on a wire rack before turning it out of the tin.
5
Meanwhile, sift the icing sugar and cocoa into a bowl. Put the rest of the butter in a small pan with the golden syrup and 1 tbsp milk and heat gently just until melted, without allowing it to boil. Pour on to the icing sugar and mix to make a smooth icing.
6
Pour the icing on to the cake and sprinkle the fudge chunks on top. Leave to set before slicing into squares.
