This looks like a good recipe.... I am 13 years old and I was wondering if it makes a difference if you don't add the coffee?CHELSEA SUGAR: Hi there, you should be able to leave out the coffee and just use the water. Happy baking!

This is the cake I make all the time especially for birthdays! It is super runny but if you line your baking tin then you should have no problems. It always looks a little burnt on the top but it doesn't taste burnt at all. I reduce the amount of sugar a bit (usually by about 1/2 a cup) and it doesn't make any difference to the taste or texture. Everyone loves it and says how moist it is.I am intrigued as to how you lined your tin?P.S. your Favourite Christmas Cake is the best too!

It was ok but I only had to bake it for one hour and if I baked it for any longer it would have burnt. Also I knew it was going to be runny but not so runny that it leaked out of the cake tin.

I loved this recipe.It was the first time I made it and it was amazing.Before you bake it does taste a lot of coffee but once baked it just enhances the flavor and you can't taste it. Perfect for making birthday cakes.

Amazing recipe, so easy to whip together it's a favourite in our family. I cook for 50 mins and it's perfect.
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.
