Small Chocolate Cake

Instructions

• Dark Chocolate Icing
• In a pot, add all the ingredients for the icing.
• Place it onto medium heat, constantly stirring, until everything has melted and you have a smooth mixture.
• Pour it into a bowl, wrap with plastic and leave it in the fridge (it takes about 3-5 hours to get a thick spreadable consistency).
• Chocolate Cake
• Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Grease and line 6 inch cake pan (I used this one).
• Add the cocoa powder and hot water+coffee mixture and whisk this until smooth.
• Add oil, buttermilk and egg into it and whisk until combined.
• Add and whisk together the sugars and flour until you get a smooth batter.
• In a separate small bowl, mix the baking soda and vinegar, it will start bubbling, just give it a quick mix then pour it straight away into your cake batter. Whisk until incorporated.
• Pour this batter into your prepared cake pan.
• Bake at 180C/350F for about 15-25 minutes.
• Once baked, leave it to cool completely.
• Now you just have to add the chocolate icing to the cake, I also added some fresh strawberries to decorate but this is optional.
• Enjoy!
