Chocolate birthday cake detailed

Get the ingredients together. Take the butter out of the fridge 30 mins before making the cake so it has time to soften.
Beat the eggs - don't just give them a half-hearted stir with a fork. Well beaten eggs seem to make the sponge lighter..
Put the sugar and butter in the mixer and make a cream.
Add some egg....
Add some of the flour, cocoa and baking powder with the mixer on medium speed. Keep adding egg and flour alternately until both have been used up..
Turn to a higher speed and mix for a minute or so.
Pour the mixture into a lined baking pan (better to use greaseproof paper but I didn't have any) or a lightly greased non-stick one.
Put in the pre-heated oven at 170° for 40 minutes..
Take out and pierce with a fork. If the prongs come out clean the cake is done. If they don't then leave for another couple of minutes.
Empty onto a rack and leave to cool.
When the cake is cool, put the icing sugar and cocoa into a bowl.
Melt the butter over a low heat, make a hole on the icing sugar and add the melted butter.
Stir to make the fudge icing.
If it is too thick to spread then add a tiny dash of milk but go carefully - just a few drops make a big difference.
Put the icing on the cake.
Put a wide knife under very hot tap water and spread the icing.
Decorate with smarties and, when the moment comes.
.... with candles!! Sing loudly, make a wish (the birthday person) while making the first cut and enjoy!!!.
