Method

  • step 1

    Very lightly oil a deep 23cm springform cake tin, then line it with clingfilm (the oil and the clingfilm are essential for releasing the cake from the tin). Divide the double cream between 2 bowls.

  • step 2

    Whip one bowl of cream with the Kahlúa, espresso powder and 1 tbsp icing sugar until soft peaks form. Whip the other bowl with the vanilla extract and the final tbsp of icing sugar.

  • step 3

    To assemble the cake, line the bottom of the tin with a layer of biscuits (you might have to break up some to fill gaps) then spread with a thin layer of flavoured cream. Repeat and keep going, alternating the creams, until all the biscuits are used up.

  • step 4

    Finish with a layer of cream and then chill overnight. Loosen the cake tin and remove the clingfilm. Decorate with a dusting of espresso powder and some chocolate- covered coffee beans.
