Directions
Prep:40min
› Cook:20min › Ready in:1hr
- Preheat the oven to 180 C.
- Cream butter and sugar. Add in eggs and coffee. Sieve in flour and cocoa (drinking chocolate will leave you with granulated sugar in your sieve!). Combine well.
- Divide batter into two 18cm (7 in) greased and floured tins. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven.
- Do the skewer or bounce test and leave to cool 5 minutes in the tin before turning on to the rack.
- For the filling, cream the butter until almost white. Add in flavourings and icing sugar. Spread over one half of the cake when they are cool. Turn the other upside-down so the domed top sits on the icing. Ice with chocolate, coffee or a mixed icing, or melted chocolate with added coffee!
