1 Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease the
pan and line with parchment paper.

4 Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking
powder, and salt and mix into the cake batter.

7 Check the cake is cooked; a skewer inserted
should emerge clean. Turn on to a wire rack.

2 With an electric hand mixer, cream the
butter and sugar until fluffy.

5 Mix in enough milk to loosen the batter
to a dropping consistency.

8 When the cake is cool, process it in a food
processor until it resembles bread crumbs.

3 Beat in the eggs one at a time, beating well
in between each, until smooth and creamy.

6 Pour into the pan and bake for 25 minutes,
until the top is springy to the touch.

9 Add the frosting and blend together
to a smooth, uniform color.
