INSTRUCTIONS:
Melt butter in a saucepan large enough to mix all the ingredients. Remove from heat and pour in boiling water, instant coffee and chocolate. Stir until the chocolate melts. Add sugar and stir until dissolved. Add eggs and vanilla essence and beat well with a wooden spoon until combined. Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and cocoa into the saucepan and mix to combine. The mixture will be runny. Pour into a baking paper bottom lined 20 centimetre round cake tin. Bake at 180 degrees C for 1 hour or until an inserted skewer comes out clean or the cake springs back when lightly touched. Leave in the tin covered with a clean tea towel for 10 minutes before turning onto a cooling rack. Leave until cold. When ready to decorate, trim the top of the cake to flatten. Turn the cake over and use the bottom as the top of the cake. Spread with Chocolate Ganache, top with Chocolate Curls, decorate with fresh cherries or raspberries and dust with icing sugar.
