Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 170°C fan-forced. Grease and line a deep 20cm cake tin with baking paper.
- Combine dark chocolate melts, butter, caster sugar, water and instant coffee in a large saucepan over a low heat until smooth and melted. Set aside and allow to cool.
- Add eggs, vanilla extract and mix until just combined. Sift over self raising flour, cocoa, and almond meal and mix until there is still a few streaks of flour. Add milk and mix until combined.
- Bake in preheated oven for 1 hr and 15 mins or until an inserted skewer comes out clean. Allow to cool in tin for 10 mins before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Place chocolate in a heatproof bowl and set aside. In a small saucepan over a low heat, gently bring cream to a simmer. Pour over chocolate and allow to sit for 4 mins before stirring until smooth. Allow to cool to room temperature and thicken to a spreadable consistency before spreading over cooled cake. Top with chocolate stars.
