Steps to make Rich Chocolate cake:
- Preheat oven to 160°C/325°F/Gas Mark 3. Grease and line cake tin.
- Mix the softened butter, sugar and cocoa powder in a bowl
- Lightly beat eggs and finely mash peaches in separate bowls
- Slowly add eggs and peaches to cocoa mix, stirring continously
- Fold in flour and baking powder bit by bit, whisking mixture in between.
- Spoon into cake tin and bake for 40-45 mins or until risen and springy to touch. Cool upside down on a wire rack for 15 mins and turn out and set aside to cool completely.
- To make icing, break chocolate into a heatproof bowl and pour in cream and vanilla essence. Melt over a pan of simmering water
- Cool icing, stirring occasionally. Chill lightly until it thickens.
- Split cake in half. Spread jam on one half and half of the icing on the other.
- Sandwich the two halves together and spread rest of icing on top, swirling it attractively with the tip of a table knife. Decorate as desired. I personally like to slice strawberries and place them neatly on the top but whatever works for you.
