Written instructions: Instructions In a saucepan on low heat add 250g unsalted butter, 250g dark chocolate, 180ml coffee (use part hot water if you must). Stir constantly until melted, if it looks like its separating thats normal. Set aside to cool. In a large bowl break up 4 large eggs. Whisk in 150ml buttermilk (or sour cream) and 3tbsp vege oil. Add the chocolate mixture slowly as you stir constantly. Add 430g caster sugar.Sieve in 150g of plain flour and self raising flour, 60g coco powder, 3/4tsp bicarb, big pinch of salt. Fold in. If it looks lumpy just gently whisk it, trying not to overstir. Pour into three 8" tins. Level out the thick batter. Bake in 170C (fan forced) for 22 mins, make sure you test each cake. Let them cool for 5 mins ONLY before turning them out of the tins onto baking paper. Gnache 100g butter and 200g chocolate (~50%). Because we want it thick straight away we melt the chocolate and butter first, then add the cream. Melt 30 seconds at a time till melted, stir in 100ml double cream. Leave to sit. Buttercream Whip 125g soft butter till very pale and fluffy. Add a pinch of salt. Combine and then beat in 225g icing sugar in two lots (so it doesn't get everywhere). Fold in 80g melted chocolate. Construction Use a bread knife to flatten the cakes totally. Stick down the first layer of cake to the board with a small blob of buttercream. Make sure the butter cream is soft (microwave it for a few seconds if needed), and add on each layer. For the last level of the of cake, flip it upside down before placing on the cake tower. Spread the gnache over the cake using a palette knife and a cake smoother.

I have a tip! (For chocolate cakes) If you don't have spray for your pans and you're going to butter & flour them- don't use flour. Use coco powder. This will keep the edges brown rather than them having spots of white flour. (Sift the coco into the pan to get a good distribution and then knock it all around like you would to flour it). Works really well and if you're doing a "naked" cake, it makes sure your layers are really beautiful.

I literally just took it out the oven in the last few minutes and OH.MY.GOODNESS 😍😍😍😍!!! It smells AMAZING. The crumbs taste AMAZING! You'd think I've baked before 🤣. It's 4am and I've just got into bed and now all I can think about is waking up in 2 hours to start on the decorating!!! Thank you sooooo much Sally and Jemma for this recipe!

I went for the 3 layer 8 inch option and it’s still huge 😎 When I made the butter cream I felt it was way too sweet so next time I’d put less sugar. This time I added some double cream (50ml) and it did the job while keeping the cream spreadable. If you do the three layer option keep in mind it will take 3-5 minutes longer in the oven.

Delicious cake! I made for a birthday celebration. I loved all the different elements, cake, filling, frosting. I used 2 9" pans instead and put all the buttercream in the center as filling. I will definitely increase the amount of ganache for the frosting. It could have something to do with the 9" pan size but I really can't imagine there would be enough ganache to frost 4 7" cakes. When I make it again (which I will!!) I will make a recipe and a half for the ganache.

That does look like a perfect chocolate cake :) I used to have a baking book, that I have lost, which had a recipe for a pudding that separated into a layer of sauce on the bottom and sponge on top. It gave variations for lemon upside down and chocolate upside down sponge cakes. I remember that incorporating fluffy whipped egg whites was key to creating this wonderful pudding. (You didn't make the sponge and sauce separately; they separated while cooking). It was cooked in a casserole dish, rather than a cake tin. It was one of the most delicious cakes I have ever baked. I would love to know how to make this, again.

This is a great cake! I waited until I’d made it before I commented. I made a mr men cake for my son’s bday using this recipe (minus the ganache) & it was A+++ Everyone thought it tasted amazing, so this will now be my go to cake for bdays! I’m no baker so I made it a few days in advance and froze each layer separately & defrosted the day before decorating to save my sanity & it was so so good! I used greaseproof paper on one and butter & flour on another layer and the greaseproof was better . And as a NON coffee lover I was a bit dubious about the cup of coffee in the mix but there was zero coffee taste. Not even a hint! Honestly, if you need a great cake that is easy & tastes amazing, don’t bother looking for another recipe, this is it! I tried another cake from another KZfaqr but it wasn’t good at all (like I say I’m no baker) but this and the cupcake recipe from these guys are perfection and are mega easy too!

It has taken me nearly 11 months to get to making this but did it last night. Made the following stupid mistakes: Did not let my cakes cool enough so one cracked, put 3 cakes on one shelf so one was a little under cooked and sank, did not make enough butter cream, did not use 35% cream in ganache used only 10%, so my ganache was a little too wet but it worked perfectly on the drip! Used sour cream and the coffee, Outcome....the cake was friggin awesome! Seriously thank you Sally, Jemma and Sam! I know why you have so many views, but I had the video running on a loop, this was extremely helpful. I kept saying WHAT Sally, wait what!!. I made this as my birthday cake and it was a hit even though all of the mistakes. I will perfect this recipe and include a photo for the next one.

I made this today for my wife's 50th birthday. She loved it! It was very straightforward and tasted great, but I wouldn't say mine is as visually appealing - it looks like something between Sally's cake and a popular brown emoji... :)

New subscriber lol. I'm so glad you left the cake elegant by not adding designs and extra frosting. I'm so looking forward to making this cake.

Hi from Australia.Oh Sally, your instructions are sooo well explained. You stay so positive.💕💕 I made the reduced recipe in 2 x 6 inch tins instead of 4!! What a dill. Anyway luckily I lined them high, baked on 160 deg for 45 mins. They've turned out. Thank you. Tins are NOT created equal especially in supermarkets like the height. Really appreciate all of your tutorials in real time. 🧡🧡👏🏽👏🏻👏🏽

I was just about to ask how to adjust the oven temp and timing for a two layer cake. I've tried twice with the reduced recipe in 2 x 8inch pans at the same temp but left it in for longer longer. The second time I turned down the temp a bit but came out dry both times. So thanks for this comment. I am going to try it at 160c. Hopefully that works.

@@jones8928 I don't trust domestic ovens so always have a clip on oven temp as well! They run hotter and have uneven heat spots. Oh and my tins are smaller in height as well. I ended up making 4 layers with SMBC and choc drips. Was so moist.🧡

Thanks@@rubykeiss1540 . Yeah I use an oven thermometer as well. I turned it down to 175c according to the oven thermometer on the second try but that obviously wasn't low enough. The cake would be fully baked but the middle would still be wet and by the time the middle is done the whole cake is dry. Yeah I also need to play with the chocolate ganache. A bit too bitter for my taste so I might add some milk chocolate to that. I put caramel between the layers but I might try the SMBC.

OMG, l tried this recipe just today. Infact l just finished baking it about 5 minutes ago. Its my daughter's birthday tomorrow. Initially l was a bit unsure because it was a bit liquidy and was tempted to add more flour. I said to myself to hell with it, am going to do as the recipe says. The final product : moist, not too sweet, spongy, chocolaty and no hint of coffee! I mean what more could I ask for? Cupcakes Jemma is my go to for cake recipes! Thank you.

I do not like coffee except in cake. It really does make it POP. Your channel is one of my top 5 favorites. I have made several of your recipes and they are really amazingly delicious. Keep up the baking work! A fan from "across the pond".

This is so funny! Tuesday for someone's birthday I made a chocolate cake using your snickers cake chocolate sponge, devil's food cake ganache frosting, and my own vanilla chocolate buttercream (based on crème anglaise). And now you guys make a chocolate cake with ganache frosting and buttercream filling! Love from Canada and stay safe y'all!
