Made a double mix the other week. Butter choc icing on one and butter lemon icing on the other. Used only 2/3 the amount of sugar. Beautifully moist. Delicious - just simply scrumptiously delicious

Hi there, would this work as a vanilla cake as well? if I wanted to marble cake this recipe? Perhaps switch the cocoa for a bit of vanilla? Thanks.Chelsea Sugar:You could leave the coco out of 1/3 of the batter and then marble the plain and chocolate batters together.

Just learning how to bake but the chocolate cake turned out super. Shared the receipe already. Thanks
Preheat the oven to 180°C (reduce to 160 for fan forced).
Grease and line a 23-25cm cake tin with baking paper.
Dissolve the coffee granules in water, then place all ingredients into a food processor and process until well combined and smooth.
Pour the mixture into the cake tin. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
Cool on a wire rack and when completely cold.
Icing Method
Place Chelsea Icing Sugar and cocoa powder in a medium bowl and stir to combine.
Add softened butter and pour some of the hot water over the top.
Mix together, adding more water as required to achieve a smooth, spreadable consistency.
Spread over the top of the cooled cake.
Note: This is a very runny mixture - don't be alarmed the first time you make it.
The best chocolate cake so far! Its rich, moist and soft!! And most of all so easy to make!
