  • 75ml (⅓ cup) brewed coffee (or milk)

Instructions

Cake:

  • Pre-heat the oven to170°C (325ºF) and prepare two small springform pans (mine are 18cm/6").
  • Slowly heat the chocolate, Nutella, and butter in a pan until just melted then add in the coffee (or milk)
  • In a large bowl, whisk sugars together with the eggs, then add in the cooled chocolate mixture.
  • Sift the flour and cocoa and stir into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the two pans.
  • Bake for around 25 minutes, just until the cakes are firm to the touch and cooked through.
  • Remove from the oven. Let the cakes rest for 10 minutes in the tins, then turn them out onto a wire rack and allow to cool completely.

Frosting:

  • Beat (or whisk) the butter, Nutella and cream cheese together until smooth.
  • Add the icing sugar until you achieve a spreadable consistency (you may need more or less depending on taste and texture).
  • Spread half over the top of one cake, place the other on top and cover with the remaining frosting.
  • Decorate with Maltesers (or anything else you fancy). Enjoy!

I have converted grams to cups/ounces/tablespoons using online converters. Although I have no reason to believe they are inaccurate, please be aware that I have not made the recipe with imperial measurements.
In addition, many ingredients are different in Europe compared to North America. I do all I can to offer possible alternatives and to ensure the best possible outcomes for everyone. However, results cannot always be guaranteed if you have not used the same ingredients, measurements or methods as me.
Lastly, I do everything I can to ensure that my recipes (and instructions) are accurate and easy to follow. However, I am human, and don't always get it right. If you notice anything strange, a mistake, or even a typo, please let me know in the comments.
