Description
Make a moist and tender chocolate cake using Nescafé coffee and cocoa powder. Perfect for any celebration or dessert craving.
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla essence
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp Nescafé coffee
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 cups cake flour
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Grease two 7-inch (18 cm) round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper. You can also use a greased Bundt pan if you prefer.
- In a large bowl, beat the sugar, vanilla, and eggs with an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the oil and beat for another minute.
- In a cup, mix the cocoa powder and coffee with the warm water until smooth.
- Sift the cake flour, baking powder, and bicarbonate of soda into the bowl. Add the cocoa-coffee mixture.
- Gently fold everything together until just combined. Don’t over-mix.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans.
- Bake for about 25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edges and turn them out onto the rack to cool completely.
For the Chocolate Ganache Icing:
- Break 2 slabs (about 80g each) of milk chocolate into pieces.
- Heat ¼ cup fresh cream in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until warm.
- Add the chocolate to the cream and microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring after each, until smooth.
- Chill the ganache in the fridge for 10 minutes to thicken slightly.
- Once your cakes are fully cool, spread the ganache on top.
Decoration Tip:
- For a crunchy topping, try adding crispy orange chocolate pieces or hazelnut milk chocolate thins on top.

What is Nescafé
Nescafé is a brand of coffee made by Nestlé. It comes in many different forms. The name is a portmanteau of the words “Nestlé” and “café”. Nestlé first introduced their flagship coffee brand in Switzerland on 1 April 1938.
Can you put instant coffee in a cake?
The instant coffee (in this case Nescafé) mixed in with the rest of the ingredients gives the cake a little extra kick to send those flavors flying, making the cake taste 10x better. Only a small teaspoon is needed to add to this cake mix to cause those flavors to be even more emphasized.
