This is a really excellent, reliable recipe, with a great taste and texture. I've made it often and it has always worked out wel. I tried it this Easter, substituting Olivo orange infused oil for the plain sunflower oil and it produced a wonderful jaffa-style flavour.

Made this cake and iced it with a coffee buttercream. It made a huge cake and we've just finished it - 3 days later and it was still a really delicious, moist cake. Was so happy with the result and would definitely make this again.

Terrible recipe.... burnt on top and undercooked through the middle. Cake itself is not very chocolatey and is sticky. Won't make again.

Method
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.
