- Add the flour, the baking soda and the cocoa alternating with the milk and the coffee. Mix until you have a smooth, lump-free consistency.
- Place in an 18cm mold prepared with vegetable spray and cook in a medium preheated oven at 160° C until firm. Let it cool down before slicing.
- For the chocolate cream, bring the cream to a boil and add to the chopped chocolate. Leave it 5 minutes so the chocolate can melt. Mix well and add the creamed butter. Refrigerate and beat for 3 minutes with a mixer.
