Recipe Instructions
Step 1: Start the cake mixture
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a small pot (or kettle), bring water to a boil. In a medium heatproof bowl, combine the instant coffee and ½ cup of the boiling water.

- In a large bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and ¼ tsp salt.

Step 3: Bake the cake
- Pour the cake mixture into the cake pan.
- Bake, 45 to 50 min., until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
- Set aside to cool for 15 min. Carefully remove the cake from the pan to cool completely.
- Once cool, place the cake in the fridge for 1 hour before icing.
Step 4: Prepare the icing
- In a third large bowl, whisk the cream cheese and 2 tbsp butter.
- Add the icing sugar and vanilla bean paste; stir well with a spoon.
