I usually use this recipe and it is great but never noticed the baking soda crossed out on the ingredients list, I can’t remember in the past if I put baking soda in or not! Baking soda yes or no? CHELSEA: The Baking Soda may have been crossed out because the ingredient had been accidentally ticked off the ingredient list. This tick box is a new feature that we hope will make it easier to keep track of what ingredients you have used. Please keep using the baking soda in the recipe and let us know how it goes!

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.
