method:

Preheat oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Grease and line two 18cm sandwich tins.
Sieve the flour, cocoa and bicarbonate of soda into a bowl. Add the sugar and mix well. Make a well in the centre and add the syrup, eggs, Borderfields coldpressed rapeseed oil and milk. Beat well until smooth.
Spoon the mixture into the two tins and bake for 25-30 minutes until risen and firm to the touch. Remove from oven, leave to cool before turning out onto a cooling rack.
To make the icing, place the butter in a bowl and beat until soft. Gradually sift and beat in the icing sugar and cocoa powder. Add enough milk to make the icing fluffy and spreadable.
Sandwich the two cakes together with the butter icing and cover the sides and the top. Scatter with fresh fruits and drizzle with a good quality melted chocolate for extra yum!
