- Allow the base to cool slightly in the tin while you make the icing.
- To make the chocolate icing, combine icing sugar, cocoa powder, butter and boiling water in a small bowl.

Notes
- *Please note that the nutrition information is provided as a guide only, as ingredients and cooking methods can vary greatly*
- Make your own self-raising flour by combining 2 teaspoons of baking powder with every cup (150 grams) of plain flour, then sift together well.
- I highly recommend using Dutch-processed cocoa powder, it tastes much richer.
