Grease and line 8-inch tin and 6-inch tin. This makes one and a half kg cake.

Pour the batter into the tins and bake for 45mins to 1 hour at 180 degrees C.

For frosting, beat the butter and icing sugar until mixed. Add in the cocoa and the drops of water to soften while you continue to beat until mixture is well combined.
