175g soft margarine

175g caster sugar

3 eggs

150g self raising flour

25g cocoa

1 dessertspoonful milk

½ teaspoonful vanilla essence

85g dark chocolate

 

Preheat oven to 180oC/gas 5.  Grease an 18cm square or 20cm diameter round deep cake tin, and line with baking parchment.  Put chocolate in a bowl over hot water until all is melted.  Beat margarine, sugar, eggs and flour together until even texture throughout.  Divide mixture in half.  Add essence to first half, then milk and cocoa (sieved) to second half.  Place spoonfuls of vanilla mixture in cake tin with spoonfuls of chocolate mixture in between.  Smooth top surface and hollow out centre slightly.  Pour melted chocolate over top of cake mixture as evenly as possible.  Bake in oven for about 40 minutes.  Leave in tin until chocolate has set then finish cooling on a wire rack.  The chocolate sinks down through cake during baking and is a lovely surprise when you come to eat a slice.
