   200g Waitrose &amp; Partners light brown soft sugar  

   3 British Blacktail free range eggs  

   1 tsp vanilla extract  

   70g dark chocolate, melted  

   150ml buttermilk  

   225g self-raising flour  

   ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda  

   50g cocoa powder  

   ½ tsp fine salt

Method

 Step 1 

Preheat the oven to 180˚C, gas mark 4; lightly grease a 33cm x 22cm cake tin and line with baking parchment. Using electric beaters, cream together the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and melted chocolate. Stir in the buttermilk until combined.

 Step 2 

In another bowl, combine the dry ingredients; sift into the mixture and fold in until combined. Tip into the cake tin, level the top and bake for 22-25 minutes until risen and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Set aside and leave to cool completely in the tin.

 Step 3 

For the topping, spread the icing evenly over the top, then drizzle with the melted chocolate. Allow to set for 5 minutes, then slice into squares to serve.
