Ingredients

2 cups sugar
1 cup melted butter (2 sticks)
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup hot coffee (hot water plus instant espresso is fine)
1 cup milk
3/4 cup baking cocoa (nestle toll house works great here)
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sour cream (optional but it gives amazing moistness to the cake)
1 cup whipping cream (double cream)
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 ounces milk chocolate, melted
8 ounces milk chocolate
1/4 cup butter
3 -4 tablespoons milk

Steps:

preheat oven to 350 degrees.
grease a 9 inch round pan with a thin film of butter then dust with flour, shake off any excess flour.
in a large bowl mix all ingredients listed above in the same order they are mentioned, use a whisk to work out any lumps do not use an electric mixer.
pour batter into pan, batter will seem runnier than normal cake batters but its fine.
cake will take 40-50 min to cook depending on ur oven, when u find that the center is set test using a toothpick inserted in the middle, it should come out a tiny bit gooey not completely dry as the cake continues cooking while cooling.
cool cake in tin on a wire rack then take out b4 its completely cooled, as soon as u feel u can handle it. if it stays too long in the tin it will be too sticky to take out.
to make frosting, with an electric mixer whip the cream with the vanilla until you reach frosting consistency,
using a spoon gently fold in chocolate and mix
frost ur cake when it has completely cooled.
you can discard the complicated frosting and just serve with warm chocolate sauce and icecream.
to make chocolate sauce just combine its ingredients in a microwave or melt over a double boiler.
Enjoy!
