Dark Chocolate Cake (With A Hint Of Coffee)

Happy Friday!  have a deep, dark and delicious chocolate cake, with a hint of coffee for you today!  If you are a chocolate lover, this cake is for you.

Dark, rich, not overly sweet, moist, it’s got it all going on.  It has a hint of coffee, enough to really compliment the chocolate, but if you aren’t a big coffee fan, don’t worry, it’s not overpowering, I promise.     And because this cake was going to be a special delivery to a special birthday girl, I needed to make a few cupcakes to keep around, for, um, “research purposes”.  🙂

So whip up some coffee and let’s bake a dark chocolate cake!

This cake is hardcore when it comes to chocolate.  But it’s also incredibly easy to make.  We are talking as simple as a cake mix (seriously, it is).   I honestly don’t make many cakes from scratch.   Cake mixes are great and so easy to doctor, that I usually go that route.  But this is a variation on one of my all time favorite, easy to make, homemade chocolate cake recipes from Hershey’s.   I’ve made it before, without the coffee, and you can see that post and my how to photos here.

The one thing I always warn people about with this recipe is that the batter is super thin – as in you may think you messed it up it’s so runny, type of thin.   But have faith.  It bakes into this wonderful moist cake, even though it goes into the oven seeming almost like a pan of chocolate water.   And remember, it can also be made into cupcakes (though they are a bit messy to make given how runny the batter is, but they are so worth it).

While I love a fancy cake, for some reason a dark chocolate cake like this, to me, just needs to be kept simple, no piping, nothing fancy, just here I am in all of my chocolate glory.   Like it’s telling you I’m a serious cake, I’m more than just good looks.   I usually top this recipe with just sprinkles or as I did with this, some bittersweet chocolate shavings (made with a bar of bittersweet chocolate and the same peeler I use for my carrots!).

Ready for the recipe? Here you go!

Deep, Dark & Delicious Chocolate Cake With A Hint Of Coffee

Ingredients

Cake

  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

    Awesome giveaway! My husband would be SO happy if I won this for him for Father’s Day! I think if he could survive on coffee alone, he would. His favorite K-Cup would be a toss up between Donut Shop and Dark Magic, but I had no idea there are Snapple K-Cups and he really likes peach tea, so I think I would go for that one, just to try something different.

    Love your blog and this chocolate cake sounds amazing – I plan to make it soon!

I mixed only a half recipe of the frosting, since I wanted to just frost the top and allow some to run partway down the sides. The cake was a hit at the gathering I took it to, and sliced up so nicely. Now I have an easy, attractive, delicious go-to recipe whenever dark chocolate deliciousness is called for. Thanks!

    I haven’t tried this frosting, I usually just wing it. I’ve made so much frosting over the years I only do loose measuring anymore. But I do believe this is my go-to chocolate cake recipe. I haven’t made it in a while but it’s always a huge hit. Even picky eaters rave over my chocolate cake & cupcakes with this recipe.

      Justin, if it wasn’t for having to share measurements on a blog, I’d never measure anything for frosting either. Absolutely a bit of this, a bit of that, all taste type of thing. 🙂

    This was the cake and frosting my Mom made me for my birthday every year!!!! Only difference was using regular Hershey’s Cocoa powder. They didn’t make Special Dark cocoa back then.

      Bruce, it’s such a great cake! I’m pretty dedicated to that dark cocoa, though I have to admit, only one store I go to ever carries it (and I think I buy enough for them to keep stocking it!). I”ll have to make this one again soon, my hubby has a birthday coming up actually… 🙂
