INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 160 C (320F). Grease and line an 8 inch square baking tin with baking or parchment paper.

3. Place the chocolate batter into your prepared tin and bake in the oven for 25 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
4.  To make the frosting, sift the icing sugar and cocoa into a large mixing bowl. Add butter and 1 tablespoon boiling water and stir to combine.
5. If the frosting is too thick, add other tablespoon boiling water. Spread frosting over cooled chocolate slice. Sprinkle over grated chocolate. Leave for 10-15 minutes to set. Cut into squares and serve.
