I made this chocolate cake

I made this chocolate cake last weekend and it turned out great. Easy and not very many ingredients, just the way I like it.

I have made this cake for a long time and its great to find it on here. The nicest and easiest icing for this caake is a gonash ( sorry about spelling!!) I use a King size bar of Energy chocolate melted down in a double boiler and gradually add cream to the heated chocolate until the consistancy i am after is acheived. Pour over and allow to cool. Its the perfect finish to the best chocolate cake ever!! And simple too!! Give it a go you wont be disappointed!!
