Ingredients Serving: 8

Flour - 2 cups
Cocoa powder - 3/4 cup
Sugar - 2 cups
Oil - 3/4 cup
Eggs - 4
Baking powder - 2 & a 1/2 tsp
Salt - 1/2 tsp
Buttermilk - 1cup
2 tsp - instant coffee (Water mixed)
Soda -1 tsp
For the frosting:
Semi sweet chocolate - 250 gms
Heavy cream - 1 cup

Instructions

Preheat the oven at 180°C for 10 minutes. In the mean time sieve flour, cocoa powder, sugar, salt, soda, baking powder in a bowl and keep aside. Beat eggs well and add oil, vanilla essence.
Fold in the flour lightly making a figure of eight alternately adding buttermilk. Finally pour in the warm water. The batter will be thin. Pour the mixture into a round tin and bake for 35 to 40 minutes at 180°C.
Remove and cool in the tin for 10 minutes and then invert on a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
Grate the chocolate and put it in a heatproof bowl. Heat the cream but do not boil. Pour over the chocolate. Gently stir together until smooth and glossy. Do try not to form air bubbles. Strain and allow to cool until just warm to touch.
Pour the glaze over the cake and smooth quickly with a knife. Refrigerate the cake for 30 minutes or until the glaze is firm. I had some fondant flowers so I decorate the cake with them.
