INSTRUCTIONS
FILLING
CHOCOLATE GLAZE
CARAMEL GLAZE
For the cake, cream butter with sugar until light. Add eggs one at a
time, beating after each one. Beat in vanilla. Sift flour with baking
powder, baking soda and espresso powder. Add to batter alternately
with the sour cream.
Combine ingredients for the filling. Spread half the cake batter into
a buttered 14"/34 cm cake pan that has been lined with parchment
paper. Sprinkle with the filling. Top with remaining batter. Bake in
preheated 350F/180C oven for 45 minutes or until top springs springs
back when lightly touched. Cool on a rack and then invert onto a huge
platter.
For the chocolate glaze, in a medium bowl combine chocolate with
cream, corn syrup and coffee. Melt together over a pot of simmering
water until very smooth. Pour over cake.
For the caramel glaze, place sugar in a medium saucepan and stir in 2
tbsp/25 mL cold water. Stir until dissolved. Cook over high heat,
without stirring until sugar turns golden. Add cream carefully. Cook
a few minutes until smooth. Cool. Drizzle over cake.
