- Preparation:

- - In a large mixing bowl, break the eggs and add the sugar. Beat at a medium speed for about 2 minutes until the mixture turns white and a little fluffy.
- - Add the butter and beat at a high speed until the mix is all smooth and creamy and almost double in size.
- - Add the vanilla essence.
- - Add the milk and coffee and beat for another 2-3 minutes.
- - In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and cocoa powder.
- - Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Scrape the bottom well so that everything is well mixed. You can use an electric mixer to blend all the ingredients together.
- - Pour the prepared batter in the greased baking tin and smooth the top.
- - Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 170C for about an hour.
- While the cake bakes, here is a simple and easy recipe of cream chocolate ganache that you can use with the cake.
- Preparation:
- - In a thick saucepan, heat the fresh cream until on the verge of boiling.
- - Remove from heat and stir in the chopped dark chocolate.
- - Stir the mix until smooth and glossy.
- - Chill in the fridge while the cake cools.
- Once the cake is cool, place it on a cake stand and slather the chilled gananche over the top and sides. Garnish with sliced raspberries on the top.
- When serving, cut a slice of the cake and serve with a dollop of fresh cream on the side and watch the smile of delight on your guestâs face.
