Low
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C, grease and flour two small molds or one medium mold.
  • In the cup of milk, dissolve the instant coffee.
  • Sift the dry ingredients in a bowl.
  • Beat the eggs with the oil, and once mixed, add the vanilla, coffee liqueur, and gradually the dry ingredients alternating with the dissolved coffee.
  • Pour the mixture into the molds and place in the oven.
  • Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, remove from the oven and wait about 15 minutes before unmolding.
  • Melt the chocolate tablets in a double boiler and add the butter, mixing perfectly. Taste it and if needed, add powdered sugar to taste (Personally, I don’t add any since the chocolate is already somewhat sweet).
  • Join both parts with a bit of the frosting mixture and cover the cake with the remaining.
  • Decorate to taste (I use pieces of walnut or grated coconut).
