This cake is so versatile – You can up the amount of coffee and even up the amount of cocoa to make it more of a Mocha cake. Just amend the amount of flour you use – i.e. Use 1 tbsp more cocoa, take 1 tbsp flour out.
Its a really easy to prepare cake – The mixing together should take no more than 10-15 minutes and the decorations can be finished in less than 20. I purposely used 1 packet of White Cooking Chocolate (150g) so you see how far it goes. I use very high quality white cooking chocolate but if you are wanting to get rid of any white chocolate Easter Eggs, use them here.
As usual, I grease the bundt tin with butter then sprinkle flour to give a light coating. I’m sensing my days of being able to do this method in this tin are numbered though. I have a few scratches which are making it harder and harder to get the cake to release. I might have to start lining the base with a thin strip of baking parchment.
