    There is a tread earlier in this forum that has loads of school days recipes and I am sure what you are looking for is there. Perhaps one of the "board prefects" could merge the threads for you?

    chocolate concrete was like hard sponge! Perhaps you're just remembering it differently...

    I remember chocolate concrete as being like overcooked chocolate shortbread :)

    School Dinners by Becky Thorn has a recipe for chocolate concrete in it - her recipe uses plain flour, caster sugar, melted butter or marg, cocoa and water. I don't know if that's the same as what you had at school jakecake!

    This recipe is foolproof, and fits nicely into 2 x 8" square tins, for chunky squares! (or half the recipe for one tin)

    8oz hard marg (stork etc, for some reason, butter does not taste as good!)
    1 tsp good vanilla extract
    11oz S R flour
    8oz white sugar (caster is best)
    Extra sugar for sifting
    2oz cocoa

    Melt marg, then stir in vanilla.
    Sift flour into a bowl with cocoa, add sugar.
    Pour in the melted marg and mix well.
    Tumble into the tin, then press down well and flatten the surface.
    Sprinkle the top with water, then shake sugar over the water - this will give it that crispy, white, sugary topping.
    Bake on 180 or gas 4 for 25 mins ish.


    This is proper choc concrete - it doesn't rise at all, and has a very dark colour, tastes really chocolatey.
