3. Combine the Heinz Seriously Good Mayonnaise with the cocoa mixture and then pour in the well. Mix together gently.

4. Pour into a well greased and lined 20cm round cake tin.

5. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the cake is cooked when tested. Cool in the tin for 10 minutes before turning out onto a cake rack.

When cold, ice with your favourite chocolate icing, or with our Rich Chocolate Glaze, or simply dust with icing sugar to serve.

Rich Chocolate Glaze

Melt 125g dark chocolate with 1/2 cup cream together in the microwave for 1 minute. Stir to combine, cool a little and then pour over the cake and smooth out.

Tip: Add 1/4 cup finely chopped nuts. Add 1 Tbsp coffee powder with the hot water for a mocha version.
