Steps

  • Grease and line a 24cm savarin tin and preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • Cream the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy.
  • Beat in the eggs gradually and stir in the espresso.
  • Fold in the flour using a large metal spoon.
  • Spoon the batter into the tin and bake for 40-45 minutes until a skewer comes out clean.
  • Cool the cake in the tin before removing gently.
  • Carve a slope on the top inner edge of the cold cake to mimic a velodrome track.
  • Mix 300g icing sugar with coffee to create a smooth, thick icing.
  • Cover the inside edge completely with coffee icing and drizzle the outside.
  • Mix the remaining icing sugar with water and pipe three lane lines on the track.
  • Decorate with cyclist figurines fixed at an angle.
