Ingredients
- 250 grams butter
- 200 grams chocolate (buttons)
- 1 1/2 cups brewed coffee (strong coffee , eg: 375 ml water with coffee dissolved — about 1 tbsp if you use instant coffee granules)
- 450 grams caster sugar
- 175 grams plain flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 eggs

How to Make
-
Step 1: Pre-heat oven to 180C fan forced; grease and line a large square cake tin.
-
Step 2: In a small saucepan, melt the butter, chocolate and coffee over a low heat, stirring, until the chocolate has dissolved. Add the sugar to the pot and stir it in until it has dissolved too.
-
Step 3: Pour the mixture into a heat-proof bowl. Sift the flour, cocoa and baking powder over the top and whisk them into the liquid then whisk in the eggs, then add the vanilla.
-
Step 4: Once everything is well combined, pour batter into the tin.
-
Step 5: Bake cake for one hour or until a cake tester inserted in the middle comes out clean.
-
Step 6: You can either ice with chocolate icing or make a ganache style topping or just use melted some chocolate buttons and spread on the top.
