Equipment

  • 10 cup bundt cake pan
  • mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Rubber spatula
  • Microwave Safe Bowl 

Ingredients

  • 2 cup flour
  • 2 tablespoons espresso powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • cup butter room temperature
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ cups sour cream
  • ¼ cup freshly brewed espresso
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips

For the chocolate/coffee glaze:

  • 3 tablespoons chocolate chips
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons freshly brewed espresso

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 10 cup capacity bundt pan thoroughly with baking spray containing flour!
  • Whisk together the flour, espresso powder, salt, baking powder and baking soda and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream the sugars and butter together until they are light and fluffy.
  • Add in the eggs, one at a time, stopping to thoroughly make sure each egg is mixed in before adding the next one. Add in the vanilla and mix.
  • Add about half of the flour mixture and mix to combine.
  • Add in all of the sour cream and mix.
  • Add in the remaining flour and mix.
  • Add in the brewed espresso and mix until everything is well combined.
  • Stir in the mini chocolate chips with a spatula, scraping the sides and bottom to make sure everything is incorporated.
  • Pour into a bundt pan and place in the oven to bake for 40-45 minutes, or when a knife/skewer comes out clean. Remove and let settle in the pan for about 10 minutes before turning it out on a cooling rack to thoroughly cool before adding the glaze.
  • To make the glaze, melt the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl, add the powdered sugar and vanilla and about half of the brewed espresso and whisk until smooth.
  • Mix in espresso bit by bit until you can drizzle the frosting easily.
  • Spoon over the top of the cooled cake and let run down the sides.
