Lou,s Easy Chocolate Cake

Chocolate and I like each other my dear friend Lou created this recipe it was so easy we made it often add a simple panache icing of cream and chocolate and fill with cream to create something speacial

4 tablespoons butter
1cup sugar
1egg
1tsp vanilla essence
1cup water
1 1/2cup self-raising flour
2 1/2tablespoons cocoa
Cream butter and sugar until thick and pale
Add beaten egg and vanilla, then water flour and Cocoa
beat with electric beater till well blended add to cake tin and cook till firm in center

Make a Panache icing by cooking cream and chocolate together on simmer stirring so as not to burn till thickens enough to cover cooled cake
