Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease and line a 10cm / 4 inch round cake tin.
2
Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and baking powder together with the salt into a bowl.
3
In a separate bowl whisk the egg, buttermilk, vegetable oil and vanilla extract until smooth.
4
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients along with the sugar and whisk until just combined.
5
Stir in the hot brewed espresso last - the batter will turn thin and glossy, which is correct for this cake.
6
Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake for 28-32 minutes until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.
7
Cool the cake in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
8
For the frosting, beat the softened butter until creamy, then mix in the melted cooled dark chocolate.
9
Add the cocoa powder and condensed milk to the butter mixture and beat until thick, glossy and spreadable.
10
Once the cake is fully cooled, spread the frosting over the top and slice into 2 pieces to serve.
