Choca-mocha cake

I’ve never been a hardened coffee drinker, so a mocha – that moreish combination of coffee and chocolate – is my go-to hot drink. This recipe combines these two favourite flavours in a moist, fudgey cake, topped with a super-speedy coffee icing that you can drizzle on while it’s still hot.

□ 30g cocoa powder
□ 3 heaped tsp instant coffee
□ 175g self-raising flour, sifted
□ 175g caster sugar
□ 60ml semi-skimmed milk
□ 60ml sunflower oil
□ 1 egg
□ 1 tsp vanilla extract

FOR THE ICING:

□ 1 heaped tsp instant coffee
□ 130g icing sugar, sifted□
