Method
- Cream the butter, coffee, and sugar together.
- Add in the eggs and vanilla and beat until pale.
- Mix the flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder together in a separate bowl before adding to the butter mixture.
- Melt the chocolate by placing it into a bowl that’s placed in a larger bowl filled with hot water. Stir until melted.
- Add the melted chocolate into the cake mixture and stir.
- Pour the cake batter into a well-greased Bread Pan.
Prepare your COBB Grill and light a CobbleStone and wait a few minutes until it has turned grey. Or, if you don’t have a CobbleStone on hand, ready your briquettes. Place the Griddle, Fenced Roast Rack, and Dome Lid on COBB Grill and let it heat up for at least 10 minutes.
- Place the Bread Pan onto the Roast Rack and and cover it with the lid to bake for 30 – 40 minutes.
- Once your cake is done, switch out the Roast Rack and Griddle for the Wok.
- To make the ganache, bring the heavy cream to a boil in the Wok and add your chopped chocolate.
- Once the chocolate has melted, remove it from the heat and stir until smooth.
- Remove the cake from the Bread Pan and leave it to cool.
- Spread ganache over the top of the cooled cake and decorate with mini Easter eggs, chocolate shavings, and some sprinkles.
