\nIf you wanna choccy cake, then this is how you should begin;
\nTake a half a pound of sugar, same of butter, fold it in.
\nFour large eggs will then need breaking, each in turn but fairly quick,
\nKeep it beating with a mixer ’til it looks like baby sick.
\nNow six ounces of self raising (backing powder mixed in flour)
\nSieved with two of fat free cocoa, beat it all at highest power.<\/p>\n
Pre-heat oven, gas mark 4, three fifty Fahrenheit to you,
\nLine your cake tins, grease proof paper, ladle in the lovely goo.
\nTwenty minutes, maybe longer, until a skewer comes out clean.
\nTurn out on a rack for cooling, greatest cake you’ve ever seen.
\nWe should ice it (some say frost it) butter cream will go on first;
\nButter mixed with icing sugar, it’s a skill we’ve all rehearsed.<\/p>\n
Finally make some glac\u00e9 icing, feather ice until it’s nice
\nAsk me round to come and eat it, you’ll never need to ask me twice<\/p>\n
