1. Heat oven to 140C fan/gas 3. Line a 22 x 22cm square tin with baking parchment. Put the chocolate, butter and sugar into a large pan with 100ml hot water and gently melt together. Set aside for 2 mins, then stir in the soured cream followed by the eggs. Finally, stir or whisk in the flour and cocoa until lump free then pour into the prepared tin. Bake for 50-55 mins until a skewer comes out clean. Sit the tin on a wire rack to cool.
2. Meanwhile, make the icing. Gently melt together the icing ingredients in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water, then chill or col until spreadable.
3. To decorate, carefully turn out the cooled cake and peel off the baking parchment. Spread the icing over the top and cut into 12 pieces for serving.
