Step 1
Preheat your oven to 160°c (fan).
Step 2
In the large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and bicarbonate of soda with the whisk, ensuring that there are no lumps.
Step 3
Add in the vegetable oil, 150ml of the double cream and eggs. Whisk everything together until you have a smooth batter.
Step 4
Pour the batter into the lined traybake tray and spread evenly before placing in the oven to bake for 25-30 minutes. It should be springy to touch in the centre.
Step 5
Allow the sponge to cool completely. In the meantime, prepare the topping by heating the remaining double cream in a saucepan, being careful not to boil it.
Step 6
Place the 300g of broken up plain chocolate into the washed mixing bowl and pour the hot cream over the top. Leave to sit for a few minutes before mixing to incorporate thoroughly. Set to one side to thicken while the sponge cools.
Step 7
Once the sponge has cooled, remove it from the tin, spread the chocolate topping evenly over the top and decorate with whatever leftover easter candy you have.
