Grease a 12-hole mini loaf tin

Cream together the butter and sugar

Sift in the self raising flour and cocoa powder and mix thoroughly

Now add in the milk for moisture and mix

Pour into the mini loaf tins, and bake in the oven at 160c fan for 10-15 minutes until the sponge is light and springy to the touch.
