I love chocolate cake and tried this new recipe last week. It was moist and delicious, and I was very pleased with the final result.
1 Tablespoon instant coffee granules
¾ cup water
2 cups white sugar
1 ¾ cup plain flour
¾ cup cocoa powder
2 teaspoons vanilla essence
2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 ¼ cups milk
½ cup sunflower or soya oil
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C or 350 degrees F. Grease and line a 23 – 25 cm cake tin with baking powder. Dissolve the coffee granules in water, then place all ingredients into a food processor and process until well combined and smooth. Pour mixture into the cake tin. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack and frost with your favoring icing/frosting.
Shelley’s notes:
The mixture is really runny but don’t panic. All turns out well in the end.
I didn’t have sunflower oil and used olive oil instead.
I mixed my cake by hand rather than using the food processor.
My oven is a fan bake one, which lessens the cooking time. I cooked my cake for 45 minutes.

Drool, drool.
oh this looks so yummy…I will have to try it…Thank you….Now I so want chocolate cake….
Looks good and I defintely need chocolate cake today :grin:
That looks so good. I want! :grin:
It was incredibly easy to make because there was no creaming of butter and sugar. I’m trying not to make another one right now because then I’d have to eat it. :grin:
Yu-um! That looks delicious! I’m tempted to break my “trying to eat healthy” kick and make it.
I bet my hubs would like this! (I don’t do chocolate or coffee, lol) I love to find new cake recipes to try. Thanks!
If your hubs likes chocolate, he’ll love this cake, Debra. Delicious. It disappeared very quickly!
It looks positively yummy!
