This one was made for my Grand-ma and Aunt's birthday.I acutally got the look of the cake from here, along with the recipe for the coffee buttercream frosting and the chocolate glaze, but I used the following recipe for the cake.
Ingredients
180g butter
3/4 cup (180g) caster sugar
3 small eggs, beaten and at room
temperature
1 Tbsp water mixed with 1 tsp
instant coffee granules
1 1/4 cups (150g) self-raising
flour, sifted
1/4 cup (30g) cocoa powder
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 180
degrees C
2. Cream butter and sugar. Add in
eggs and coffee. Sieve in flour and cocoa. Combine well.
3. Divide batter into two 18cm
greased and floured cake tins. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven.
4. Test with a skewer, and if
done, leave to cool 5 minutes in the tin before turning on to the rack.
It didn't rise so well, but it was my first attempt at a sponge, and I had no complaints about the flavour ... in fact, I should have made two of them.
