For those after a delicious, flavourful bake that’s guaranteed to win over a crowd, Nadiya’s rich espresso chocolate cake is just the thing. Made with oil and hot water to lock in moisture, the batter comes together quickly and while it’s baking, you can whip up the easy topping by combining melted chocolate and coffee granules until a smooth ganache forms. If you’re making it with children in mind, you can skip the coffee element altogether.
