The Cake

• 35 g melted butter
• 20 g coffee (brewed)
• 2 eggs
• 100 g granulated sugar
• 45 g brown sugar
• 50 g all-purpose flour
• 5 g vanilla sugar
• 17 g cocoa powder

Frosting

• 100 g heavy cream
• 25 g coffee (brewed)
• 50 g sugar
• 80 g light syrup
• 55 g cooking chocolate
• 40 g butter

The Cake

1. Mix all the ingredients for the cake until you have a smooth batter.
2. Pour the batter into a parchment-lined springform pan (18 cm).
3. Bake the cake in the middle of the oven at 175 degrees for 20 minutes.
4. Let the cake cool in the pan.

Frosting

1. In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, coffee, sugar, and syrup for the frosting and heat. Break the chocolate into pieces and add it in. Stir until the chocolate melts.
2. Let the mixture simmer while stirring until it thickens (12-15 min).
3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add room temperature butter in small pieces.
4. Stir until you have a smooth frosting.
5. Pour the frosting over the cake in the pan and refrigerate for at least five hours, preferably overnight.
6. This will allow the frosting to thicken into a thick cream.

Let the cake chill long enough for the frosting to set properly; this is the key to achieving the perfect fudge consistency. The result is an intense, soft, and decadent chocolate cake with a subtle coffee note that makes it extra exciting. Serve in small pieces, preferably with a cup of coffee on the side for a complete flavor experience.
