Steps:
- Put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl, suspended over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir every now and then until melted. (Alternatively, melt in the microwave, stirring the chocolate every 20 secs so it doesn't burn.)
- Remove the bowl from the heat and leave to cool a little. Meanwhile, put the butter and icing sugar in another large bowl and mash with a spatula to combine (this will prevent you covering the work surface in icing sugar), then whisk with a hand mixer until smooth.
- Sift in the cocoa and pour in the melted chocolate and milk, then mix again until smooth, and use to ice your chosen cake immediately. Will keep in the fridge for up to a week, but remove an hour before using to bring it back to room temperature, and beat well.

BUTTERMILK CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH FUDGE ICING
This is the simplest and moistest chocolate cake I have ever found and was a favorite when I grew up. I could even whip it up as a child. This cake is also great with the boxed fluffy icing so the great chocolate flavor of the cake is not hidden.

Tips:
- To achieve the perfect consistency for your chocolate icing, ensure that the butter is at room temperature and the confectioners' sugar is sifted to prevent lumps.
- For a richer chocolate flavor, use high-quality cocoa powder. You can also add a touch of instant coffee powder to enhance the chocolate taste further.
- If you want a creamier icing, add a splash of milk or cream. Conversely, if you prefer a thicker icing, add more confectioners' sugar.
- To create a glossy finish, add a tablespoon of corn syrup or light Karo syrup to the icing.
- For a fun twist, incorporate chopped nuts, sprinkles, or even crushed cookies into the icing.
- If you're short on time, you can use a pre-made chocolate frosting instead of making your own.
