Butter and line a 20cm round cake tin (7.5cm deep).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>STEP 2.<\/strong> Put 200g chopped dark chocolate in a medium\u00a0pan\u00a0with 200g butter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>STEP 3<\/strong>Mix 1 tbsp instant coffee granules into 125ml cold water and pour into the pan.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>STEP 4.<\/strong> Warm through over a low heat just until everything is melted \u2013 don\u2019t overheat. Or melt in the microwave for about 5 minutes, stirring halfway through.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>STEP 5.<\/strong> Mix 85g self-raising flour, 85g plain flour, \u00bc tsp bicarbonate of soda, 200g light muscovado sugar, 200g golden caster sugar and 25g cocoa powder, and squash out any lumps.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>STEP 6.<\/strong> Beat 3 medium eggs with 75ml buttermilk.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>STEP 7.<\/strong> Pour the melted chocolate mixture and the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir everything to a smooth, quite runny consistency.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>STEP 8.<\/strong> Pour this into the tin and bake for 1hr 25 \u2013 1hr 30 mins. If you push a skewer into the centre it should come out clean and the top should feel firm (don\u2019t worry if it cracks a bit).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>STEP 9.<\/strong> Leave to cool in the tin (don\u2019t worry if it dips slightly), then turn out onto a\u00a0wire rack\u00a0to cool completely. Cut the cold cake horizontally into three.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>STEP 10.<\/strong> To make the ganache, put 200g chopped dark chocolate in a bowl. Pour 300ml double cream into a pan, add 2 tbsp golden caster sugar and heat until it is about to boil.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>STEP 11.<\/strong> Take off the heat and pour it over the chocolate. Stir until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth. Cool until it is a little thicker but still pourable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>STEP 12.<\/strong> Sandwich the layers together with just a little of the ganache. Pour the rest over the cake letting it fall down the sides and smooth over any gaps with a palette knife.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>STEP 13.<\/strong> Decorate with 50g grated chocolate or 100g chocolate curls.\u00a0<em>The cake keeps moist and gooey for 3-4 days.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ingredients For the chocolate cake For the ganache Method<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":301,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-300","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chocolate-cake"],"Cooking_time":"2 hours","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/cake.appscodestudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/56.jpeg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cake.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/300","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cake.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cake.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cake.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cake.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=300"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/cake.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/300\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1341,"href":"https:\/\/cake.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/300\/revisions\/1341"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cake.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/301"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cake.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=300"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cake.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=300"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cake.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=300"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
