🎂 How To Make Nigella Coca-Cola Cake

For the cake:

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and place a baking sheet inside.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, bicarbonate of soda, and salt.
3. In a measuring jug, beat together the egg, buttermilk, and vanilla extract.
4. In a heavy-based saucepan, melt the butter with the cocoa and Coca-Cola over gentle heat.
5. Pour the melted mixture into the dry ingredients and stir well with a wooden spoon.
6. Add the liquid ingredients from the jug and beat until well blended.
7. Pour the batter into a prepared cake tin.
8. Bake on the preheated baking sheet for 40 minutes or until a tester comes out clean.
9. Let the cake stand for 15 minutes in the tin before unmoulding. Turn it out onto a wire rack with a sheet of newspaper underneath to catch any drips.

For the icing:

1. Sieve the icing sugar and set aside.
2. In a heavy-based saucepan, melt the butter with the Coca-Cola and cocoa over low heat.
3. Remove from heat and add the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually spoon in the sieved icing sugar, beating until you get a good, spreadable but still runny icing.
5. Pour the icing over the warm cake, spread gently, and leave to cool before transferring it to your serving plate.
