Method

Step 1 of 5

Preheat oven to 170°C (fan forced). Grease and line a deep 20cm cake tin with baking paper.

Step 2 of 5

Combine dark chocolate melts, butter, caster sugar, 1/2 cup (125ml) hot water and instant coffee in a large saucepan over a low heat until smooth and melted. Set aside and allow to cool.

Step 3 of 5

Add eggs, vanilla extract and mix until just combined. Sift over self raising flour, cocoa, and almond meal and mix until there is still a few streaks of flour. Add milk and mix until combined.

Step 4 of 5

Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until an inserted skewer comes out clean. Allow to cool in tin for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 5 of 5

For the ganache, place 290g of Dark Melts in a heatproof bowl and set aside. In a small saucepan over a low heat, gently bring 180ml cream to a simmer. Pour over chocolate and allow to sit for 4 minutes before stirring until smooth. Allow to cool to room temperature and thicken to a spreadable consistency before spreading over cooled cake. Top with chocolate stars.
