Chocolate Tray bake

[waggledancer]

I recently made a Mary Berry chocolate traybake from a recipe in Sainsburys magazine. Need to make it again today, but can't find the recipe. Have tried the internet with no success. Am now turning to the wise of Mumsnet.

Can anyone give me the recipe and save Mother's day for me?

TIA

Too late for Mother's Day, I'm afraid, but I do have this recipe. Are you still interested?

Well i am... Can you post for me please now i've spied this thread?

OK, here we go:

Serves 12

4 tbsp cocoa powder
225g butter, softened
225g caster sugar
275g self-raising flour
2 tsp baking powder
4 large eggs
4 tbsp milk

For the icing and decoration:
4 tbsp apricot jam
200g plain chocolate (150g of that broken into pieces)
350g icing sugar, sifted
1 tsp sunflower oil

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C, fan 160, gas 4. Grease a 30 x 23 cm tray bake or roasting tin and line the base with nonstick baking paper.
2. Mix the cocoa powder with 4 tbsp hot water until smooth; cool. In a large bowl beat together the cocoa and remaining cake ingredients until well blended. Turn into the tin and level the top.
3. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the cake springs back when pressed in the centre with your fingertips. Leave to cool in the tin.
4. Warm the jam in a pan and brush all over the cold cake. In a pan, gently melt the 150g broken chocolate with 6 tbsp water until smooth. Leave to cool slightly then beat in the icing sugar and oil. Spread over the cake with a palette knife; cut into pieces after 30 minutes. Use a vegetable peeler to create curls from the remaining chocolate; scatter over.

I am assuming you don't really want to know how many calories there are in it. Suffice to say, it isn't one of your five a day.

Sounds lovely. I'm going to give this a try.
