Chris Moyles' traybake takes inspiration from Mary Berry. It's simple to make and made primarily from store cupboard ingredients - a handy recipe to add to your repertoire!
Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 5. Grease a 30x23cm/12x9in traybake tin and line with baking parchment.
Put the cocoa and boiling water in large bowl and mix. Add the butter and mix until smooth. Add the remaining sponge ingredients and mix until fully incorporated.
Pour into the tin, and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the traybake springs back when pressed lightly with a finger in the centre and is beginning to shrink away from the sides of the tin.
Leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn out, carefully remove the parchment and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the icing, gently heat the cream in a small heavy bottomed saucepan. Add the white chocolate and stir until smooth. Leave to cool.
Pour the icing over the traybake in an even layer.
