Mix together the wet ingredients; egg, buttermilk, coffee, oil and vanilla. Now combine them together and pour the batter on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 13-15 minutes until the cake springs back when lightly pressed or a toothpick inserted in the cake comes out clean.
Chocolate pudding
Bring the milk, sugar, glucose and cocoa powder to a boil.
Mix the cornstarch with some water and add it to the boiling mixture. Cook for 3-4 minutes, remove from heat and mix in the chocolate until it's melted.
Combine with the vanilla, salt and orange liqueur. Leave the pudding to cool to room temperature, then mix in the butter.
