    Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 50–60 minutes. Check doneness with a skewer. Remove the cake from the pan, let it cool slightly in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice the cake in half and place the base on a cake plate.

    Dissolve instant coffee in 1 tbsp hot water for the cream.
