Ready for the Freezer
Allow to cool before carefully slicing and freezing. I slice this loaf but keep the loaf together so that it does not suffer freezer burn. You can even add small slice sized pieces of baking parchment in between each slice, so they are easily removed if you want individual portions.

Ready to Eat
Simply remove the slices you want; these should defrost in 30 minutes at room temperature.
when I click on the print option there is a button at the top marked nutrition but clicking on it does nothing to the recipe.
Hi Helen
Thanks for commenting – my recipes don’t have the nutritional values currently but it’s something that’s coming to my upgraded website soon. I hope you enjoy the coffee loaf!
Hi! Was going to give this recipe a go but don’t see the amount of coffee to use or is it just a cake to eat with a cup of coffee? Thanks x
Sorry about that Anne, i have just added in how much coffee to the ingredients list. Thank you for flagging this up! Happy baking
Oh Gosh, I’m a novice when it comes to cooking so really confused by the cups and also what type of sugar.
Hi Tracey, it’s brilliant you’re giving this a go if you haven’t done much before. Generally granulated sugar or caster sugar are used for baking but you can use any other – brown sugars tend to give a richer flavour. The cups are the easiest way to cook as it saves you weighing out ingredients and all my recipes are based on them to save time. Cups are a standard measure and if you want to get a set they’re available on Amazon directly or you can link to them through my ‘shop’ page on this website.
Have a look out for my video on using cups, coming out later this week! Good luck with it.
Being really thick, but I can’t see the quantity of coffee to dissolve in the water. Please could let me know
I made this cake from your recipe in the Sun paper. It came out perfect, skewer came out clean when tested but when I sliced the cake the texture inside was not like previous cakes and it looked like is was not cooked properly
Oh sorry to hear that. It may be that the melted chocolate is making the cake look undercooked, or it could be your oven as ovens vary a lot in temperature so it may just need a little longer In the oven. Hope this helps!
I had the same thing happen .
I followed the sun recipe and skewer came out clean as if it was cooked and it wasn’t inside binned it and it doesn’t say anything about melting the chocolate
I won’t bother trying it again
Thank you for letting us know. We have have a retest of the recipe and see what changes need made!
OMG just made this….delicious
Yay great to hear!!
