Method

  • 1.
    Preheat oven to 160°C. Grease a deep 23cm springform cake pan and line with baking paper.
  • 2.
    Place the chocolate, butter, coffee and milk in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water (don’t let the bowl touch the water) and stir until smooth and melted. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool completely.
  • 3.
    Sift flour and cocoa powder into a bowl, then add sugar. Fold into the chocolate mixture with eggs, vanilla extract and sour cream.
  • 4.
    Pour the batter into the cake pan and bake in the oven for 60-70 minutes until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out with some moist crumbs sticking to it but no raw cake batter. Set aside to cool completely in the pan.
  • 5.
    For the ganache, place all ingredients in a small heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water (don’t let the bowl touch the water) and stir until smooth and melted. Cool slightly.
  • 6.
    Remove the cooled cake from the pan and spread with the ganache, then serve.
