Method for Chocolate Cake
Step 1
Melt 300 g butter and place it in a bowl. Add the remaining ingredients, with 7 dl flour added last.
Step 2
Grease a small baking pan (approximately 25x35 cm) and line it with baking paper. Pour the batter into the pan.
Step 3
Bake the cake on the bottom rack of the oven at 180°C for 30-40 minutes. Check with a wooden stick to see if the cake is done; if nothing sticks to the stick, the cake is ready. Cool the cake on a wire rack.
Method for Frosting
Step 4
Mix together 200 g butter, 5 dl powdered sugar, 2 tbsp cacao powder, and 3 tbsp coffee to make the frosting. Spread or pipe the frosting onto the cake once it has cooled.
Make the cake a day or two in advance for an even moister texture.
