Gently whisk together all the dry ingredients and set aside. Add all the wet ingredients except the eggs to the blender and blend on slow speed, till smooth. Now blend in the eggs.
Add the dry ingredients to the blender and blend on slow speed again, preferably pulsing the mixture a few times till just smooth. You might need to scrape down any flour that sticks to the sides of the blender jar. Do not over blend! The cake batter does not need aeration.
Pour the batter into a well greased and floured 8" bundt or tube cake pan. Bake at 190C (375F) for about 40 minutes or till done and a skewer comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack before frosting it.
and serve, or decorate if you wish.

Melt chocolate in medium heatproof bowl in the microwave or over medium saucepan of simmering water (don't let water touch base of bowl). Cool the chocolate for about 10 minutes. Beat butter in small bowl with a hand held electric mixer until pale and creamy. Gradually beat in sifted icing sugar, chocolate and combined coffee and water.
