Put all cake ingredients into a bowl and mix well with electric mixer. Put into 2 greased lined sandwich tins. Bake in oven for about 35 mins at 180c or gas mark 4.
Icing _ Melt the margarine in a saucepan, add sifted cocoa. Remove from the heat. Beat in the evaporated milk and the icing sugar.
Sandwich the two cakes together with half of the icing. Put the remaining icing on the top. (It will drip over the sides)
Tip - if the icing gets too stiff to put on the cake, put it back on the heat stirring continously.Cocoa powder and icing sugar needs to be sifted or it will go lumpy.
Slices of cake are very nice warmed slightly in the microwave with a dollop of ice cream
