For the cake
3 eggs
170 g brown sugar
120 g flour
30 g cocoa
50 g unsalted butter
2 tablespoons milk
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the chocolate custard
1 egg
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon cocoa
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 pint milk
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
For the frosting
50 g unsalted butter
100 g cream cheese
2 tablespoons honey
cocoa, for dusting

1
Prepare the custard by whisking the egg with the sugar. Add the cocoa and corn starch, the milk and place over a low heat stirring with a wooden spoon until the custard thickens. Remove from the heat, stir in the butter and allow to cool.
2
Now on to the cake: Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Grease a 20cm/8in cake tin with some butter and dust it with flour.
3
Beat the eggs with sugar and butter until fluffy. Blend in the rest of the ingredients and stir until smooth. Gently pour the mixture on to the cake tin.
4
Bake in the oven for 25-35 minutes, or until the top is firm to the touch and a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
5
Remove the cake from the oven and allow to cool completely.
6
Transfer the cake to a serving plate. Cut the cake in half and spread the chocolate custard on the bottom half of the cake, then carefully top with the other half.
7
Prepare the frosting by blending the butter with the cream cheese and the honey.
8
Ice the cake all over with the cream cheese icing, using a palette knife. Dust the top with a small amount of cocoa.
