Don't try make this using a tin with removable sides. It will run out the gap in the seam... Haha

I'm about to make this again. It was perfect. The height and moisture was the best I've had in a cake that I have made. I'll be using this as my 'go to' recipe. Thank you.

Hi, I love this recipe, I have made many cakes with this and it's worked out every time!Could I replace the flour with almond meal and/or gluten free flour with similar results?CHELSEA SUGAR: Hi there, glad you're enjoying this recipe!

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.
Oh it was beautiful looking - just like your picture, BUT, inside it was strange with little holes and rubbery. Where did I go wrong???
