10 to 15mim prep, lining a tin took the longest the rest is to easy. 20 min max on the stove to straining into the tin. I used warm water from kettel with 1 heeped tea spoon of Nesscaff Instant for my 2nd time making this cake. Loads more kid friendley, but absolutley BEAUTIFUL. Mine is just warm to touch, start by adding about 2 tablespoons and as it mixes with the melted Chocolate add a bit more and same again and again untill 1/4 cup left then add the rest in 3 hits. This takes 10 min and works every time... We make this cake fortnightley, it's so so easy... and delicious.
A bit of a delayed response but I tried this recipe for Easter and it was AMAZING and so easy to make!
The only thing I found was that the coffee taste was quite strong, so if you're not a huge fan of coffee, maybe lessen the amount you put in?
Hey, just thought id reply to your question.....espresso coffee comes directly from a coffee machine so to get half a cup you may need to make several "shots" of coffee in order to get the half cup. Wait for the coffee to cool before using in the recipe :)
Does this have to be put in the fridge or can you bypass that stage and dive in!!! :)
this looks so yummy i'm so makin this on the weekend
looks so good how long does it take to prepare and cook??

i know this recipe is meant to be prepared a day before but will it still be good if i freeze it a few days in advance?
This sounds deliciously indulgent.Just the thing for a chocoholic family at Easter.
It sounds delicious so i will definitely being trying this recipe.
as long as the coffee isn't too hot there shouldn't be a problem.
Sounds good, however I fear the chocolate will curdle when the espresso coffee is added to it? Please reply at your convenience.
wait until the coffee is cold it will work a treat. good luck
i had not made it yet so i do not have an opinion yet
Won't the chocolate bind if the coffee is added to it? This is a problem I have had previously.
just keep stiring, it will eventually combine. Even if you feel it is beyond repair. Cold coffe also helps.
When it says to add coffee; do they mean made up as in liquid form with water only? or the actual loose powder/granules?

I simply love chocolate and the addition of coffee, the directions are good and I must try this one.
