Provided by Mary Berry

Prep Time 1 hours

Cook Time 1 hours

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

50g/2oz cocoa powder
6 tbsp boiling water
3 free-range eggs
4 tbsp milk
175g/6oz self-raising flour
1 rounded tsp baking powder
100g/4oz baking spread or soft butter
300g/10oz natural caster sugar
150g/5oz dark chocolate, broken into small pieces
150ml/5fl oz double cream
3 tbsp apricot jam
icing sugar, to dust

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4 and grease and line two 20cm/8in sandwich tins with baking parchment.
  • Put the cocoa powder and boiling water into a large bowl and mix well to make a paste. Add the remaining ingredients and beat again until combined. This can also be done in a food processor, but take care not to over whisk. Divide the cake mixture between the prepared tins. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until well risen and shrinking away from the sides of the tin.
  • Meanwhile, for the icing and filling, measure the chocolate and cream together in a bowl and stand the bowl over a pan of simmering water for about 10 minutes, or until melted. Stir from time to time. Set aside and leave until cool.
  • Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before turning out the tins onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Spread the tops of each cake with apricot jam. Fill the cakes with half of the icing and spread the remainder on top. Draw large “S” shapes over the cake with a palatte knife to give a swirl effect. Dust with icing sugar and serve in slices.

Provided by Rachel Manley

Prep Time 30 minutes

Cook Time 1 hours

Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

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
200g/7oz plain chocolate
200ml/7fl oz double cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Grease and line two 20cm/8in sandwich 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.
  • 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.

  • Chocolate Sponge Pre-heat the oven. Rub some butter around the inside of a 23 x 33cm/9 x 13” Swiss roll tin or insert a baking liner. Separate the eggs into two bowls and beat the whites until stiff. Add the sugar to the yolks and beat until thickened. Sieve the cocoa over the yolks and beat again. Gently fold the egg whites into the yolks with a metal spoon, using a cutting and turning action. Sieve the flour into the bowl and gently combine by cutting and folding with the spoon. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin, spreading it out to the edges. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Spread a clean tea towel over the baking tray, place a chopping board on top and invert everything together. Remove the baking tray, and cake liner if used, to leave the sponge on the tea towel. Using the tea towel for support, roll the long edge of the sponge into a cylinder with the cloth inside. Leave the cloth and sponge cylinder to cool completely. Chocolate Filling Cut the butter into small cubes, put them in a bowl and beat until the butter is light and fluffy. Sieve the icing sugar and cocoa into the bowl and beat until combined and soft. Gently unroll the cold sponge. Spread the filling all over the inside of the sponge. Roll up the filled sponge, making sure the filling stays inside. You can use the tea towel to help with this. Chocolate Log Topping Cut the butter into small cubes, put them in a bowl and beat it until the butter is light and fluffy. Sieve the icing sugar into the bowl and beat until combined. Gently melt the chocolate and mix this into the bowl. Spread the topping over the rolled-up sponge. Drag a fork through the icing to create a log texture.
