Chocolate and blueberry cake

Rich chocolate cake topped with blueberries. Slightly unusual; you would expect chocolate cake to be teamed with strawberries, but blueberries fare well.

WHAT YOU NEED:
- 1 cup of self-raising flour
- 3 tablespoons cocoa
- 1 cup caster sugar
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1/3 cup of milk
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup chocolate melts
- Blueberries to top
- Icing sugar to dust


HOW TO DO IT:
1. Preheat your oven to 180°C/356°F.
2. Add all ingredients to one mixing bowl, and stir until combined.
3. Mix on medium speed until the mixture is fairly runny and contains no lumps.
4. Prepare your cake tin (square, round, rectangle, whatever - i found that square worked perfectly well for me, though) by coating the inside with butter and then cornflour or cocoa. Pour the mixture in.
5. Bake the cake for about 35 - 40 minutes. When the cake has risen fairly well, check to see if it is cooked by poking the middle with a skewer. You know the old trick; if the skewer comes out clean, the cake is baked.
6. Leave the cake to sit for a few minutes, then move it to a serving plate. I can guarantee you it will not stick to the tin.
7. Dust the cake with icing sugar as you please, and add the blueberries to the middle. Alternatively, you could find a recipe for chocolate icing. I definitely recommend this one.

I made this cake for my cousin's birthday, and it went down a treat. Give it a go! x
