2. Sift the flour, cocoa powder into a large mixing bowl, stir in sugar and make a well in the center. Add the milk mixture, the eggs and the butter to the well in the dry ingredients, and stir with a metal spon until just combined. Do NOT overmix-the mixture should be lumpy.

3.

Leave in the tin for 5 minutes before lifting out onto a wire rack to cool completely before decorting.
