Djöflaterta - Devil's Cake

==Description==
This type of chocolate cake is very popular all over Iceland, and you can buy a slice in most cafes and bakeries. I like it best when it has been frozen and thawed before glazing, because the cake will then be nicely moist. 
== Ingredients ==
* 1¾ cup flour
* 1½ cup sugar
* 1 tsp salt
* ⅔ cup milk
* 1 tsp baking soda
* 2 eggs or 1 egg and 2 yolks (use whites to make angel's cream icing)
* ½ cup dark cocoa
* 100 g margarine/butter (soft)
* 1 tsp vanilla extract 	 
== Directions ==
# Mix together the dry ingredients.
# Add milk and mix well.
# Add eggs, soft margarine/butter and vanilla extract and mix well.
# Pour into two cake pans and bake at 175°C until firm.
# Remove gently from pans and cool.
# When cold, spread one half with rhubarb jam (leave it out if you don't have any), and spread cocoa icing over the jam.
# Put the other half on top and cover with chocolate icing.
# For a darker cake, use more dark cocoa.
# Proper devil's cake should be almost black in colour.
# Other decoration ideas: cover with cocoa-butter icing.
# Put mashed bananas between the layers.
