I was in the mood to experiment and I enjoy coffee flavour. It turned out really well. The chocolate chips can be quite sweet, so I may cut the sugar down to one cup next time. I hope your family enjoys this cake as much as my husband did 😊

Top with your choice of icing. I like to use icing sugar and ideal milk, but this time I used icing sugar, vanilla essence and fresh cream. It does whip up nicely on high speed. Grate chocolate over the top
