1. Put the sugar, chocolate, butter and milk in a saucepan, preferably one with a triple bottom. Bring to the boil over medium heat. When it starts to boil, lower the heat and stir until you feel that the sugar has completely dissolved. Then cook for another 30 seconds, stirring constantly so that it doesn't stick to the bottom, and it's ready. Pour over the cold cake, spreading it out quickly.
