Ingredients
-
All Purpose White Flour - 180g
Light Brown Sugar - 350g
Cocoa Powder - 75g
Baking Powder - 1.5tsp
Baking (bicarobonate) Soda - 1.5tsp
Buttermilk - 300ml
Egg White - 3 portions

Skimmed Milk - 125ml

Directions
Preheat oven to Gas Mark 3/170ºC/325ºF. Line 2 x 22 cm round cake tins with greaseproof paper.
Combine flour, brown sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Mix well with a fork to break up brown sugar. Set aside.
Beat buttermilk, egg whites, 80g of melted spread and 1 teaspoon of vanilla in a large mixing bowl until combined. Gradually beat in 125ml of hot water. Add flour mixture and stir until there are no lumps.
Pour mixture into cake tins. Bake in oven for about 30-40 minutes or until a skewer inserted in centre comes out clean. Cool cakes in tins on a rack for 20 minutes. Invert cakes onto rack and cool completely.
Meanwhile, melt remaining spread in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add chocolate and milk and simmer, stirring for 3 minutes or until melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
Transfer to a large mixing bowl and stir in remaining vanilla. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cool. Beat icing sugar into mixture using an electric mixer until light (can use manual work, burn those calories!).
Spread 1/3 of icing mixture on top of one cake layer. Top with second cake layer. Spread remaining icing over top and sides. Slice into 16 pieces and serve.
