| 1. For the cake: | 2. Sieve the flour and cocoa powder and set aside. | 3. Cream the butter and sugar together until soft and light, stir in the orange rind. | 4. Break chocolate into a bowl (I recommend that you use 70% cocoa solid minimum), add boiling water and stir until the chocolate is melted and well blended. | 5. Lightly whisk the eggs and gradually beat into the butter and sugar mixture. | 6. Beat in the melted chocolate, and then fold in the flour/cocoa mixture with a metal spoon. | 7. Spoon the mixture into two greased and lined tins and bake at 180/350/Gas 4 for 25-30 minutes, until cake shrinks away from the sides of the tin. | 8. Allow to cool slightly in tins, and then turn out on wire rack. When cold, slice each cake horizontally to make 4 layers. Using a thin layer of jam, sandwich all layers of the cake together. | 9. Fudge coating: | 10. Sift icing sugar and cocoa and set aside. | 11. Put the butter, water and caster sugar into a saucepan and heat gently, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Bring to a simmer. | 12. Pour the hot mixture into the sieved icing sugar/cocoa mixture; mix together until its thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. | 13. Pour coating quickly over the cake; smooth over the sides. Leave to set before serving. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
