Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch (or 9-inch) round cake pan and line the base with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt until well combined.
3. Add the oil, egg, vanilla and milk to the dry ingredients and beat for about 30 seconds. Pour in the coffee mixed with the boiling water and mix until glossy. The batter will be thin.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 40–45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out with a few moist crumbs but no runny batter.
5. Cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and cool completely before frosting.
6. Heat the cream in a small saucepan over low heat for a few minutes until hot, without letting it boil or simmer.
7. Remove from the heat, add the chocolate chips, cover and leave for 5 minutes to melt.
8. Stir slowly, then faster, until the ganache is smooth, creamy and glossy. Refrigerate for 1 to 1.5 hours until thick enough to spread.
9. Spread the ganache evenly over the cake.
