Directions

  1. Pre-heat your oven to 180°c or gas mark no. 5.

  6. To make the chocolate topping, melt the chocolate in the microwave or in a glass bowl over simmering water. Once melted, take the bowl off the heat and stir in the golden syrup and butter.
  7. Stir the mix gently until it is of a spreadable consistency, spread on top of the cooled cake and allow to set before serving.
