Gradually add the flour and baking powder, beating after each addition, until a smooth, lump-free batter forms.

Pour the warm chocolate-coffee sauce generously over the cake and serve.
💡 Chef's Tip
Swap margarine for unsalted butter for a richer depth of flavour. A pinch of cinnamon or cardamom in the batter adds a lovely aromatic twist.
