Step 1 of 5
Preheat the oven to 180°C, (160°C for fan ovens), Gas Mark 4.
Step 2 of 5
Sieve the flour, cocoa and bicarbonate of soda into a bowl and stir in the sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk the oil, milk, eggs, half the vanilla and a tablespoonful of caramel until smooth. Then mix into the flour mixture (it will be quite runny – but that’s fine!).
Step 3 of 5
Divide the cake mix between the two tins and bake for about 20-25 minutes until springy. Cool the cakes in their tins and then turn out onto a cake rack.
Step 4 of 5
Melt the chocolate, then beat in the rest of the caramel and vanilla, beat well until smooth and glossy.
Step 5 of 5
Put one half of the cake onto a plate and spread a few dollops of icing on top. Sandwich with the other half. Spread over the rest of the icing – on top or top and sides – it’s up to you!If you're making this chocolate fudge cake recipe for a birthday, why not get a little creative?
