Making the Syrup

  1. Add the ingredients
    In a saucepan, combine cocoa, dark caster sugar, and boiled water.
  2. Mix and Stir
    Stir the mixture over low heat until the sugar has dissolved completely. Set aside to cool while preparing the cake.

Preparing the Cake

  1. Grease and Preheat
    Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease and line two 20cm round cake pans with parchment paper.
  2. Mixing the ingredients
    First, in one mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside. Then, in a separate mixing bowl, cream together unsalted butter, granulated sugar, vanilla sugar, and a pinch of salt until light and fluffy.
  3. Next steps
    Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. Add dry ingredients
    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the cooled cocoa syrup, and mix until well combined.
  5. Add batter to pans and baking
    Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Preparing the Chocolate Fudge

  1. Mix ingredients
    In a small saucepan, combine water and dark caster sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
  2. Add and stir
    Add unsalted butter and chocolate drops to the saucepan. Stir until melted and smooth. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the chocolate fudge cool slightly.

Assembling the Cake and Enjoy!

  1. Assembling
    Place one cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread a layer of chocolate fudge on top of the cake layer.
  2. Layer and Repeat
    Place the second cake layer on top and spread the remaining chocolate fudge over the top and sides of the cake.
  3. Decorate as desired, and serve.
