Please refer to Victoria Sponge's recipe for the cake. I only added in 1 teaspoon each, sifted Cocoa powder and sifted instant black coffee into the ready mixture prior to spreading it evenly into prepared tins and bake for 20 minutes or until sponges shrink from sides of tins.

To make Toffee Sauce with easy recipe:
25g butter

1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Heat the butter with the sugar, cream and lemon juice in a small pan over a medium heat.
