 Recipe: Chocolate Mocha Cake
I developed this recipe with a friend about 10 years ago. It's extremely rich
and fattening, but well worth every calorie.
| Yield |
1 cake or 24 cupcakes |
| Time |
45 minutes |
| Tools |
- 2 bowls
- Whisk or hand mixer
- Wooden spoon
- 2 cake pans, large baking pan, or cupcake pans
- butter knife
|
| Ingredients |
- 2 c sugar
- 2/3 c butter
- 2 eggs
- 2 c sour cream
- 2 c flour
- 1 t salt
- 1 t baking soda
- 5 T cocoa powder
- 3/4 c hot black coffee
- 2 t vanilla
|
| Directions |
Preheat oven to 350.
Beat the sugar, butter, and eggs until fluffy. Mix in 1 c sour
cream.
In another bowl, combine flour, salt, baking soda, and cocoa.
Gradually beat into egg mixture. Add coffee and vanilla.
Spread into baking dish or cupcake pan.
Bake 25-30 minutes, until butter knife poked in center comes out
clean. Cool, then frost with remaining c sour cream.

| Notes |
You can also use softened cream cheese as frosting, but I prefer the contrast provided by sour cream on this rich chocolate cake. |
