Method

1
Preheat oven 180°c

: Butter 2 large 20cm cake tins that are 9cm deep, with a removable base
: Put all the cake ingredients for Baileys sponge in a cake mixer or food processor, blend to a smooth batter.

At this point my niece and nephew danced with me to Harry Belafonte.

: Pour in one of the cake tins and let it bake for 50 minutes

9 After cleaning your mixer, blend all the ingredients for chocolate sponge.
: Pour this in the second tin and also bake for 50 minutes.

,When both cakes are done, chill out, maybe have a nap!
They have to be cold before you spread buttercream.

: Put the butter and icing sugar in a mixer and add the Baileys in small amounts. This took me a while, stick with it!

: Spread the buttercream on the chocolate sponge and lay the Baileys sponge in place on top.

: Make the covering by whisking the cream and cocoa, until cream forms peaks.

< Decorate with your favourite chocolates and dust cocoa powder for that extra 'boom'.
