Method:

Oven temperature: 180°C

Beat the cocoa with 200ml boiling water. Whisk in the bicarbonate of soda and then set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
Beat the eggs, sugar and oil together, then stir in the flour and the cocoa mixture.
Pour into a lined 23 x 30cm tin and bake in a preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Cool then remove from the tin and ice.

Icing
Beat the butter until creamy. Add the icing sugar, cocoa and a little milk (just enough to create a smooth consistency). Beat well until creamy and a spreading consistency. Spread over the cake. Cut into squares.
