    Categories: Cakes
    Yield: 1 Cake

    75 g Dark chocolate
    75 ml Sunflower oil
    75 g Sour cream
    125 g Caster sugar
    75 g Runny honey
    2 ts Vanilla extract
    3 md Eggs
    25 g Cocoa powder
    175 g Plain flour
    2 ts Baking powder

    MMMMM----------------------QUICK CAKE SYRUP---------------------------
    25 g Icing sugar
    2 ts Vanilla extract

    MMMMM--------------------SOUR CREAM FROSTING-------------------------
    300 g Dark chocolate
    50 g Unsalted butter
    50 g Runny honey
    25 ml Bourbon or brandy
    100 g Icing sugar
    125 g Sour cream

    Line the base of two round 18 cm sponge cake tins with a disc of
    nonstick paper and heat the oven to 180°C (160°C
    fan-assisted)/350°F/gas mark 4. Meanwhile, get on with the cake mix
    melt the chocolate, then beat in the oil, cream, sugar, honey, and
    vanilla. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir together the
    cocoa, flour, and baking powder, and sift in. Divide the mixture
    between the tins and bake for around 25 minutes, until a skewer pulls
    out with just a few crumbs sticking to it.

    While the cakes are warm, make the syrup by stirring the icing sugar
    and vanilla with 25 ml boiling water. Prick the cake tops, spoon over
    the syrup and leave to cool in the tin, covered with paper or cling
    film.

    For the frosting, melt the chocolate and butter, stir in the honey,
    bourbon, and sifted icing sugar, leave until cool, then beat in the
    sour cream. When the mixture firms slightly, beat again, sandwich the
    cakes together with it and spread the rest over the top and sides.
