Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 180ðC (350ðF) and grease a small cake tin or muffin tray with some of the melted butter.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free self-raising flour, cornflour, cocoa powder, and instant coffee powder until well combined.
  3. Add the melted butter to the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth, thick batter forms. If the batter is too dry, add a teaspoon of milk or water.
  4. Spoon the batter into the prepared tin, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Allow the cake to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Dust with sifted icing sugar before serving, or enjoy plain for a rich coffee-chocolate flavor.
