Quick Mix Chocolate Cake with Fudge Icing

185g butter
3/4 cup caster sugar
3 eggs
1 cup self raising flour
1/2 cup plain flour
1/3 cup cocoa
1/2 cup milk

Fudge Icing

60g dark cooking chocolate
15g butter
1 1/2 cups icing sugar
2 tbsp milk

Have all ingredients at room temperature.
Combine all cake ingredients in a large bowl.
Beat on low speed until combined. Increase speed to medium and beat for 3 minutes or until the mixture becomes lighter in colour and smoother in texture.
Bake 30 minutes in a moderate oven, in a well greased 16cm x 26cm tin.
When cold, top with fudge icing.

Melt chocolate and butter over hot water, stir in sifted icing sugar and enough milk to give a thick, spreading consistency.
