step 1
Preheat the oven to 160°C fan. Grease and line three 20cm sandwich tins. Sift the M&S Remarksable Value plain flour (375 g), cocoa powder (75 g), baking powder (1 tsp) and bicarbonate of soda (1 tsp) together in a large bowl. Stir in the M&S Fairtrade golden caster sugar (250 g) and soft light brown sugar (125 g).
step 2
Add the M&S Remarksable Value unsalted British butter (150 g) to a saucepan and break in the M&S Collection 85% dark chocolate (100 g). Melt over a low heat then cool for a couple of minutes before whisking in the M&S free-range mixed size eggs (3), M&S soured cream (150 ml), olive oil (150 ml) and vanilla bean paste (1 tsp).
step 3
Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mix. Stir to combine then divide between the three tins and bake for 20-25 minutes until a skewer comes out clean. Allow to cool for 10 minutes in the tins then carefully remove to a wire rack and cool completely.
step 4
Sandwich the cakes together with the chocolate icing (1 tub) then spread it all over. Shave over the white chocolate (100 g) using a vegetable peeler and scatter over the M&S chocolate medley sprinkles (as needed) before slicing to serve.
