Ingredients
  

Cake:

  • 240 ml semi-fat milk
  • 143 ml vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 270 g regular white sugar
  • 150 ml boiling water
  • 1.5 tbsp instant coffee powder
  • 120 g all-purpose flour
  • 90 g unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 18 g baking powder
  • 2 pinches of salt
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch

Chocolate Ganache:

  • 128 g butter
  • 450 g dark chocolate or your preferred chocolate
  • 375 ml whipping cream

Instructions
 

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.
