For the cake - sieve flour, sugar, salt. Heat butter, water, oil and cocoa in a saucepan until boiled, cool, pour into flour mixture, mix well. Mix buttermilk and bicarbonate. Beat egg lightly, mix into buttermilk mixture, add butter mixture into flour mixture. Pour batter into tin and bake for 25 minutes on 180°.
For the icing - Heat butter, buttermilk and cocoa to boiling, then remove. Sieve icing sugar into mixture, add vanilla essence. Poke holes in cake so icing soaks into cake, pour mixture over hot cake.
Do icing 5 minutes before cake comes out. Don’t need to serve it warm, cold is delicious as long as you pour warm mixture over warm cake.
