Add the remaining two eggs and whip in high speed for 5 minutes until combined.
Pour the prepared batter into prepared baking pan and bake for 20-25 minutes at 180°C or until the inserted tooth pick comes out clean. Once done, allow it to cool completely.
Use double boiling method to prepare ganache. Keep the small pan with water on Stove and boil.
Place the bowl wider than the bowl on Stove on top. Add chocolates, sugar, butter and instant coffee powder to it.
Add little prepared sugar syrup and keep mixing until everything combined and chocolate melts. Allow it to cool. The ganache has to be in easily pouring consistency.
Once the cake is cooled, place the cake in plate. Pour the prepared chocolate coffee ganache all over the cake so that it spreads evenly.
Garnish with chocolate gratings on top and add fresh fruits or glazed cherries.
The best chocolate cake with chocolate coffee ganache glaze is ready.
