Gradually sift and beat in the icing sugar and then add enough milk / water to make the icing fluffy and spreadable. Sift and beat the Fine Dark Cocoa Powder in to the icing.

Sandwich the two cakes together with butter cream icing. To make the icing place the butter in a bowl and beat until soft.

Cover the sides and the top of the cake with more butter icing and use a palette knife to create swirls on top of the cake and to decorate.

Re: Anything and everything Chocolate.
I like chocolate but dislike anything chocolate flavoured.Things like chocolate cake, chocolate biscuits, Chocolate Icecream are all an anathema to me. Yet chocolate coated biscuits are fine as long as the biscuit part is not chocolate flavoured.
When we had Neapolitan icecream I only ate the pink and white.
