Preheat Breville Smart Oven™ Pro at 180°C under Bake Function. Grease and flour 8-inch baking pan.

To make coffee buttercream:

In a saucepan, combine water and sugar then wait for mixture to boil.

While boiling, make a soft meringue then slowly add the hot sugar syrup into the meringue.

Add cubed butter one by one then mix in the coffee powder.

To make the chocolate ganache:

Finely chop the chocolate and place in a bowl. Heat the cream in a saucepan until simmering.

Pour cream over the chocolate; rest for 5 minutes then stir until smooth.

Set aside until ganache is stiff and ready to pipe.

To make the caramel:

Bring the cream and the vanilla to boil.

Carefully melt the sugar in stages, so no lumps can be formed and the caramel doesn’t get burnt or bitter.

Once the sugar is completely melted, carefully add the boiled cream in stages.

Boil the mixture to 110°C or 230°F.

Cool the caramel down to 94°F then add the butter.

To assemble:

Place one cake layer on a cake board. Layer with chocolate ganache and coffee buttercream. Repeat this step for the remaining layers.

Round the cake with coffee buttercream until covered then garnish and cover with toasted almonds on the side.

Pipe with more buttercream on top then finish off with caramel syrup.

Store cake until ready to serve.
