Ingredients

For the chocolate sauce

  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 50 g soft brown sugar
  • 2 tsp instant coffee granules
  • 250 ml boiling water

For the chocolate sponge

  • 75 g unsalted butter softened
  • 75 g soft brown sugar
  • 65 g self-raising flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 3 eggs

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/350°F. To make the sauce, mix the sugar, cocoa powder and instant coffee granules in a small bowl and pour over a little boiling water to make a smooth paste. Gradually add the rest of the water.
  • Rub some of the butter over the sides and base of a baking dish. Put all the other ingredients in a mixing bowl and beat together until smooth.
  • Spoon the batter into the baking dish and smooth into the corners. Pour the chocolate sauce mixture over the batter.
  • Bake for 15 minutes until the sauce has sunk to the bottom and the sponge has set.
