Steps

Preheat oven to 175c, grease up an 8inch cake pan and line the bottom.CHOCOLATE CAKE:Combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Whisk thoroughly to combine well.Add oil, egg, vanilla and milk to the flour mixture and beat well to combine for about 30 seconds. Pour in the boiling water (with the coffee), and mix until glossy. (Cake batter is thin in consistency.)Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan. Bake for about 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the chocolate cake comes out semi-clean with a small amount of cake (not runny batter) on it due to the fudgy texture.Remove from oven and allow to cool for 20 minutes. Transfer the cake from the pan to a wire rack and cool completely before frosting.CHOCOLATE GANACHE:Pour the cream into a small saucepan and heat over low heat for a few minutes. Watch that it doesn’t boil or simmer it. Once the cream is hot, turn the stove off and take the saucepan off the heat.Add in the chocolate chips; cover the saucepan with a lid and let sit for a good 5 minutes to soften and melt the chocolate.Uncover, and stir slowly first, with a spatula or wooden spoon, gradually mixing faster until the ganache is smooth, creamy and glossy. Refrigerate for 2-3hrs until thick enough to spread (similar consistency to Nutella).Spread evenly over the cake once it has cooled and refrigerate till ready to serve.
