Golden syrup chocolate cake with fudge icing

1.Preheat the oven to 160°C (140°C fan-forced). Grease a 20cm round cake pan; line base and sides with baking paper.

2.Place butter and syrup in a small saucepan; stir over low heat until the butter is melted. Remove from the heat. Cool for 10 minutes.

3.Sift the flours, cocoa, sugar and a pinch of salt into a large bowl. Add the milk and eggs; stir until combined. Gradually add the butter mixture, stirring until smooth. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan.

4.Bake cake for about 1 hour 20 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Cool in the pan.

5.Meanwhile, to make the fudge icing, place all the ingredients in a medium saucepan; stir over a medium heat until butter is melted. Bring to the boil; reduce heat, simmer, uncovered, for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat; cool until the icing has thickened.

6.Turn cake out onto a serving plate; drizzle with caramel fudge icing.
