Preheat oven to 150* Celcius Heat water, chocolate, butter and castor sugar in a saucepan over a low heat until combined. ( i dont melt chocolate fully) Sift flours together. Lightly beat eggs, sour cream and vanilla. Add all ingredients together and fold well. ( should still be a little lumpy if you dont melt chocolate fully). Pour into a deep 20cm cake tin and cook at 150* C for about 1 hour. OR use 2 smaller tins and cook for about 45 minutes. Test with a skewer to see when cooked. - Skewer will come out fairly clean. Wait until cakes have completely cooled in tin before turning out and ice or decorate to suit. To make icing -cream butter and castor sugar together then add melted chocolate. If the icing goes too hard pop it in the microwave for a few seconds.
