1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda

1 tablespoon lemon juice (or vinegar)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Chocolate Frosting:
170 grams semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
3/4 cup (180 ml) heavy/whipping cream (35% butterfat)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter/margarine, room temperature

Method:
Preheat oven to 180ºC and place rack in centre of oven.
In a suitable bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, sifted cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the melted butter/oil, water, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. With a fork, mix all the ingredients together until well blended.

Place the chopped chocolate, cream, and butter in a heatproof bowl. Place over a saucepan of simmering water and melt until smooth. Remove from heat and let stand at room temperature until it is of pouring consistency. Then pour the frosting over the cooled cake. Let stand until frosting has thickened.
