Is this cake overly sweet if it is am I able to reduce the sugar amount?thanksCHELSEA SUGAR: We don't recommend reducing the amount of sugar as this may affect the quality of the cake.

By far one of the best cakes i have ever made! This cake is soft, light, and very yummy! I do have one question; Can you replace the oil with butter?

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.
