This recipe is a godsend when you need to bake something quick for a morning tea shout or similar. As the note says, don't worry that the mixture is runny, the cake ends up moist and is a real crowd pleaser.

Made this cake a little 'tongue in cheek'.

Great tasting cake......I've made this many times. The temp needs to be 180 degrees for about 1hr, then 20mins at 160 degrees otherwise it tends to burn. My only issue is that my cake always cracks on the top, if you have any pointers to stop this it would be appreciated. Thanks.

Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C (reduce to 160 for fan forced).
Grease and line a 23-25cm cake tin with baking paper.
Dissolve the coffee granules in water, then place all ingredients into a food processor and process until well combined and smooth.
Pour the mixture into the cake tin. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
Cool on a wire rack and when completely cold.
Icing Method
Place Chelsea Icing Sugar and cocoa powder in a medium bowl and stir to combine.
Add softened butter and pour some of the hot water over the top.
Mix together, adding more water as required to achieve a smooth, spreadable consistency.
Spread over the top of the cooled cake.
Note: This is a very runny mixture - don't be alarmed the first time you make it.
