Ingredients

175g Asda Dark Chocolate, roughly broken

115g Stork spread

115g caster sugar

2 medium eggs, beaten

115g self-raising flour, sieved

½tsp baking powder

25g ground rice

1tsp vanilla extract

55g Stork spread

225g icing sugar

2tbsp cocoa powder, blended with 2tbsp hot water

1tbsp milk

50g chocolate sweets, such as Smarties, to decorate

Method

1
Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Grease and line a 18cm x 28cm rectangular tin.
2
Melt the chocolate in a glass bowl over a pan of simmering water and stir until smooth and glossy (make sure the glass bowl doesn’t touch the simmering water). Set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
3
Put the rest of the cake ingredients into a mixing bowl and beat until smooth, before stirring through the cooled chocolate.
4
Pour into the prepared tin and bake for 25-30 minutes until firm to the touch. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes before turning onto a wire rack to cool completely.
5
For the icing, put all ingredients in a bowl over a pan of hot water and stir until smooth and glossy. Remove from heat and leave to cool completely, then beat using a hand-held mixer until thick enough to spread.
6
Smooth the icing over the top of the sponge and decorate with the chocolate sweets. Cut into 15 pieces to serve.
