METHOD
-
Preheat oven to 160ºC/140ºC fan forced. Grease and line 2x20cm round cake pans.
-
Melt NESTLÉ Dark Choc Baking Blocks, butter, sugar, water, and NESTLÉ Baking Cocoa in a saucepan over low heat. Stir constantly until smooth. Cool for 10 minutes and transfer to a bowl.
-
Combine eggs and sour cream, then add sifted flours, mixing well. Pour into pans.
-
Bake for 45 minutes or until tested with a skewer. (Moist cake mixture on skewer is normal for mud cake - do not overcook.)
-
Cool cakes in the pan. Turn out and wrap in plastic wrap and foil until ready to ice.
-
Meanwhile, beat butter until light and creamy with an electric mixer. Gradually beat in half the sifted icing sugar, milk, then remaining icing sugar, and NESTLÉ Baking Cocoa, until thickened and combined. Smooth layers of cake over with chocolate buttercream, stack, frost, and decorate with SMARTIES. Serve.
