Ingredients
Method
Cake:
- Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F). Grease and flour a baking tray (29 x 24 x 7 cm), or use parchment paper to line it.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, oil, and sugar. Mix for about a minute using a hand mixer or whisk until combined.
- Add the instant coffee powder and boiling water to the mixture, stirring until the coffee dissolves. Then, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and cornstarch. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined (don’t overmix).
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking tray and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.
Chocolate Ganache:
- In a saucepan over low heat, melt together the butter, chocolate, and whipping cream, stirring constantly. Be careful not to bring it to a boil; the goal is to melt the ingredients slowly and evenly.
- Once the ganache is smooth and fully melted, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool to room temperature.
- Once cooled, pour the ganache onto the cooled cake in the baking tray. You can use a spatula to spread it evenly across the top.
- Refrigerate for at least 5 hours, or overnight, for best results. Add raspberries when the ganache is still soft but stiff.
