Serves: 10 -12
\nDifficulty: Moderate
\nPreparation time: 30 minutes
\nCooking time: 45 minutes<\/p>\n

Cake
\n<\/strong>190 g [340 ml] cake flour
\n1\/3 C (80 ml) cocoa powder
\n1 tsp (5 ml) bicarbonate of soda
\n1 tsp (5 ml) baking powder
\n150 g [180 ml) castor sugar
\n2 Tbsp (30 ml) golden syrup
\n2 eggs, beaten
\n150 ml oil
\n150 ml milk<\/p>\n

Icing
\n<\/strong>150 g butter
\n500 g icing sugar, sifted
\n1 tsp (5 ml) mint essence
\n2 ml green food colouring<\/p>\n

Ganache
\n<\/strong>\u00bd C (125 ml) cream
\n200 g good quality dark chocolate, broken into pieces<\/p>\n

fresh flowers<\/p>\n

Cake
\n<\/strong>Heat the oven to 160 \u00b0C.<\/p>\n

Grease two 20 cm straight-sided sandwich tins and line the bases with baking paper.<\/p>\n

Sift the dry ingredients into a large bowl and stir in the syrup, eggs, oil and milk. Beat well and pour into the prepared tins.<\/p>\n

Bake in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until the cake is cooked though when tested with a skewer. Turn out on a cooling rack, remove the paper and leave to cool.<\/p>\n

Icing
\n<\/strong>Cream the butter until pale and fluffy, add the sifted icing sugar a little at a time until it is all incorporated. Add the mint essence and food colouring a little at a time, to reach the desired colour and flavour.<\/p>\n

Ganache
\n<\/strong>Scald the cream in a small saucepan. Add the broken chocolate to a bowl. Pour the heated cream over the broken pieces of chocolate and mix well until smooth and glossy. Set aside to cool.<\/p>\n

To assemble
\n<\/strong>Sandwich the cake together with a little icing; use the remaining icing to cover the cake. To create the drip effect, use a teaspoon to dollop ganache at intervals around the edge of the cake and use the spoon to gently ease over the side to form a drip. Then fill in the top of the cake as normal. Take it slow and do it bit by bit to get the right effect.<\/p>\n

Note: the ganache must be cooled or it will melt the icing.<\/p>\n

Garnish with fresh flower adornment of your choice.<\/p>\n
