   • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

2. Prepare Cake Tin:

   • Butter an 8-inch round cake tin and line it with baking parchment.

3. Mix Coffee and Cocoa:

   • In a cup, mix the instant coffee granules and cocoa with the hot water until you have a smooth paste.

4. Prepare Cake Batter:

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter, sugar, eggs, golden syrup, self-raising flour, milk, and the coffee-cocoa paste.
   • Beat everything together with a wooden spoon or electric beaters until you have a smooth batter, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes.

5. Add Caramel Bars:

   • Break the caramel bars into sections and gently fold them into the cake batter until evenly distributed.

6. Bake:

   • Pour the cake batter into the prepared cake tin, smoothing the top with a spatula.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top of the cake springs back lightly when touched.

7. Cool Cake:

   • Allow the cake to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes.
   • Then, turn it out onto a wire rack, peel off the baking parchment, and let it cool completely.

8. Prepare Caramel Icing:

   • Break up the remaining caramel bars and place them in a small pan with the butter and milk for the icing.
   • Gently heat the mixture, stirring constantly until smooth.

9. Add Icing Sugar:

   • Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the icing sugar.
   • If the sugar doesn’t dissolve immediately, keep stirring until smooth.
   • Allow the icing to cool until it thickens enough to leave a trail when you lift the spoon.

10. Ice the Cake:

    • Once the cake is completely cooled, place it on a serving plate.
    • Spread the caramel icing generously over the top of the cake, allowing it to cascade down the sides.
    • Leave the cake to set before slicing and serving.
