3. Put the chocolate in a pan and pour over the gelatine mixture, stir until the chocolate has melted. Cool to body temperature.
4. Working quickly, fold the cream into the chocolate and pour into the sponge lined tin. Leave to set in a cool place.
5. To make the sauce, bring 375ml of the water to the boil, add the chocolate and remove from the heat. Mix the cocoa powder, sugar and remaining water to a thick paste, combine with the melted chocolate and bring back to the boil. Stir until smooth and creamy.
6. Dust the cake with cocoa powder and serve with the chocolate sauce.
