Ingredients

150g butter, chopped, softened
395g can sweetened condensed milk
3 eggs
185g (1¼ cups) self-raising flour
30g (¼ cup) Dutch process cocoa powder
½ tsp baking powder
60ml (¼ cup) full-cream milk
Mixed berries, to serve

Chocolate icing

210g (1 ⅓ cups) pure icing sugar
1 tbsp Dutch process cocoa powder
10g butter, softened
1 tbsp milk

Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 180C/160C fan forced. Grease and line a 20cm cake pan with baking paper.
Step 2

Use an electric mixer to beat butter until light and fluffy. With motor operating, gradually add the condensed milk and beat until well combined. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Step 3

Sift flour, cocoa powder and baking powder over butter mixture. Add full-cream milk and fold until just combined.
Step 4

Pour into prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Stand in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 5

To make the chocolate icing, sift the icing sugar and cocoa powder into a medium bowl. Add butter and milk, and stir until smooth, adding a little more milk if needed.
Step 6

Spread the icing over top of cake. Set aside for 30 minutes or until icing sets. Serve with berries.
