Easiest Ever Chocolate Fudge Cake

Sarah_Jayne's Note:

It is the magazine I found this recipe in calling this 'the easiest', not me. That said, it does look pretty easy. I found it in a booklet produced by the British cooking magazine Olive. So, the measurements are in grams rather than ounces but don't let that scare you and remember you can use the conversion chart here to instantly convert the recipe.
