Mary Berry on 'easy' recipe to make 'very best' chocolate cake – expert tips

She did this using an electric whisk, beginning slowly until well mixed.

Once ready, the mixture can split between two tins that have already been greased.

The tins can then be placed into a preheated oven on 180C, or 160C fan, for roughly 30 minutes.

After the cakes have cooled, they can be decorated with the chocolate ganache.

This was made by mixing equal parts of double cream with chocolate that was broken into small chunks.

The double cream should be heated until almost boiling before the chocolate is added.
