This is Derek's favorite cake by far. I have never cooked it according to the recipe as I haven't found instant espresso powder. I had used a chocolate powder, but now I skip that step - though Derek has used instant coffee. The weights are all in grams, so a kitchen scale is a must. We tend to use kahlua. For the cream, we did the chocolate thing once, but prefer just to use whipping cream and keep it a little lighter.

These are tasty, but not the ones mom and dad made when I grew up. I like my puddings a little goey, so you may want to cook for a little less time. I did them individually in muffin tins.
