Method:
  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/gas 4.
  2. Grease and line two 6 inch round cake tins.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, add the eggs, oil, coffee, double cream and mix with an electric whisk, until everything is blended.

  5. Divide the mixture between the two tins and bake in the oven for about 30-35 minutes.
