Directions
Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan) mark 4. Grease and line 2 x 20cm (8in) non loose bottomed cake tins. In a large bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, cocoa powder and sea salt and whisk together until fully combined.
Mix together the eggs, vegetable oil and buttermilk and slowly add to the dry ingredients whilst constantly whisking. Once all this is added, pour in the coffee and vanilla extract.
Divide the mixture evenly between the two tins and bake for 30-40min, until a skewer comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tins for 10min before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
Meanwhile make the icing. Add the butter and chocolate to heatproof bowl and set over a pan of just simmering water. Allow to melt, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and whisk in the sour cream and vanilla. Sieve in the icing sugar and cocoa powder and whisk to combine. Put into the fridge until needed.
Make the drizzle. Roughly chop the white chocolate and add to a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan add the baileys and double cream, heat gently until just steaming then pour over the white chocolate. Leave for 3min then stir until all the chocolate has melted. If there are any remaining lumps of chocolate, place over a pan of simmering water and stir until melted. Put to one side to cool.
Trim the tops of the cakes with a serrated knife if uneven. Smooth over 200-250g of the frosting and sandwich the other cake on top. Cover the cake with the remaining icing, spreading over the top and sides. Keep in the fridge until ready to serve.
Top with lightly blowtorched marshmallows, and scatter over the chocolate chips. Spoon over the Baileys drizzle and cut into thick slices to serve.
