Description

Indulge in a slice of pure decadence with this exquisitely rich chocolate cake. The secret to its unparalleled moistness lies within the batter itself – a generous infusion of hot coffee. This unexpected addition coaxes out the full potential of the finely ground almonds, ensuring a tender, almost melt-in-your-mouth texture that persists long after baking.

The coffee not only intensifies the chocolate flavor but also creates a subtle depth that elevates the cake beyond the ordinary. Each bite offers a symphony of textures, from the slight give of the crumb to the satisfying density that hints at its luxurious composition. Once the cake has cooled to perfection, it's crowned with a cloud-like frosting that perfectly complements its intense chocolate character.

This is no ordinary frosting; it's a dreamy combination of tangy cream cheese and the robust aroma of coffee, swirled together to create a light and airy confection. The frosting provides a delightful counterpoint to the richness of the cake, adding a touch of brightness that awakens the palate. Its creamy texture melts effortlessly on the tongue, leaving behind a lingering coffee-chocolate echo that is simply irresistible.

This cake is a true celebration of chocolate, perfect for special occasions or simply as a well-deserved treat. It's a comforting indulgence that satisfies even the most discerning sweet tooth. Imagine savoring a slice alongside a steaming cup of coffee or a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream – the possibilities are endless.

Whether you're a seasoned baker or just starting your culinary journey, this cake is surprisingly simple to make, yet delivers impressive results that will have everyone asking for seconds. Prepare to be transported to chocolate paradise with every delightful mouthful.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium mixing bowl, thoroughly combine all the dry ingredients.
    2.
    In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter in the microwave using 30-second intervals until fully melted. Stir in the vanilla extract.
    3.
    Add the melted butter mixture to the dry ingredients and mix lightly. Then, add the eggs and mix slightly until just combined.
    4.
    Add the coffee to the batter. Note: the stronger the coffee, the better the flavor. Ensure the coffee is warm but not too hot when adding it to the batter.
    5.
    Take a piece of parchment paper and fold it in half to create a triangle. When unfolded, it should fit an 8" x 8" square cake pan. Spray the bottom of the 8" x 8" baking pan, place the parchment paper in it, and spray again. Fill the pan with the chocolate cake batter and bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or the cake springs back to the touch.
    6.
    Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it with the cream cheese frosting. This is crucial for a stable and delicious final product.
    7.
    Combine the hot water and instant coffee to dissolve the coffee. Add this mixture to a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Add the room temperature cream cheese and ¾ cup of Swerve confectioners sugar. Whip until nice and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Frost the cake using an offset spatula for a smooth finish!
