This is by far one of the best cakes I've ever made. It was so moist, chocolately, and tastes absolutely amazing.
- 1 3/4 C white sugar
- 1 C firmly packed light brown sugar
- 1 C unsalted butter, melted
- 1 Tbs vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 3 1/4 C all purpose flour
- 3/4 C + 3 Tbs dark cocoa powder
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 3/4 C warm coffee (I used a butter toffee flavored coffee)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously grease and flour a 12 cup bundt pan or a 9-10 inch tube pan.
Combine sugars, butter, and vanilla. Beat about 1 minute or until smooth. Add in eggs, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add coffee (as it will splash everywhere if you add it all at once in a mixer), mixing well.
Pour into prepared pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until toothpick inserted comes out clean and the top bounces back when pressed. (Bundt pan may add 10-15 minutes to the baking time)
Allow to cool for 15-20 minutes, then run a knife around the edges to loosen. Cool completely before removing from pan.
Dust with confectioner's sugar and enjoy!
