Eggless vanilla & coffee sponge
Preheat the oven to 180C. Lightly grease three 6" Meyer baking tins.
Whisk together all the ingredients in a bowl until smooth. Divide batter into two, approx 225g per tin. Add 1 tbsp coffee to one half. Make the chocolate sponge cake batter as below.
Transfer batter to the prepared tins and bake for 25-30 minutes until light golden brown, and the tester comes out clean. Cool completely.
Filling and frosting
Heat the cream to almost boiling. Take off heat and pour over the chocolate. Leave to stand until the chocolate softens. Gently whisk until smooth, and leave to rest until it reaches desired consistency.
Sandwich the cake with about 150g filling between each layer, and use the remainder to frost the cake.
If you wish to make the drips, heat about 3 tbsps of the frosting for 10 seconds until runny, then cool it down to the right consistency. Make the drips around the edges using either a squeezy bottle, an icing bag or a spoon.
