Preheat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5 and grease and line a 20cm/8in deep round cake tin. Whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour in the milk. Crack in the eggs, pour in the oil and whisk to a thick batter. Mix the boiling water with the coffee granules and pour into the cake mix. Mix until it forms a very runny cake batter.
