    Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4.

    Gently melt the butter and dark chocolate in a saucepan.

    Mix in the chocolate mixture, and then fold in the egg whites.

    Divide this mixture between the two tins and bake for about 10 mins until set.

    Allow to cool while you make the icing and filling.

    Break up the milk chocolate and add to the cream, gently melt this over a pan of boiling water.

    Meanwhile whisk the remaining cream and use to sandwich the two cakes together.

    When the chocolate and cream is melted, spread over the top of the cake, then decorate with the buttons.
