This is the first time I have written with icing that I can remember.

Step 1
Cream butter and sugar together.
-
Step 2
Add the eggs and flour, mix alternating each ingrediants in small amounts until all is mixed in.
-
Step 3
Sieve in the cocoa powder and add 2 handfuls of almonds. Mix together.
-
Step 4
Place batter in a greased baking tin and cook for 20 mins - 1 hour depending on how much you put in the tin, obviously you could make a sandwich cake if you prefer. If you put the whole mix in one tin it could take about an hour so stab the middle with a knife to see if it's cooked, the knife will be clean when it comes out if the cake is cooked. Heat on a medium heat so that the outside will not be over done and the inside not done.

Step 5
Leave to cool and decorate with icing and almonds or whatever you want. The almonds were stuck on with dots of icing.
I LOVE LITTLE BRITAIN!!! You're brilliant.
