Then add four tablespoons of flour, two tablespoons of sugar, a quarter teaspoon of baking powder, three quarters of a teaspoon of cocoa powder, one and a half tablespoons of vegetable oil and a dash of food colouring, mixing until smooth.
Add a handful of white chocolate chips - though these are optional - on top, fold in, then microwave for about 70 seconds before turning your attention to the cream cheese icing.
This can be made by mixing 40 grams of cream cheese with 15 grams of icing sugar - it's that simple.
Spoon a generous dollop of icing over the top along with a sprinkle of icing sugar for decoration, before tucking in - that's roughly five minutes preparation time from start to finish.
