Saturday Recipe Share: Cappuccino Mocha Coffee Cake
If you like to indulge guests–or yourself–with a weekend brunch, this delicately flavored cake hits the spot with a cup of rich coffee or espresso.
Better yet, a cappuccino pairs beautifully with this Cappuccino Coffee Cake which is similar to a crumb cake. It blends the flavors of coffee and chocolate.
I think you’ll like it for the taste as well as the convenience–it uses a baking mix. I use Bisquick®. (I keep a box in the fridge so it stays fresh because I don’t use it very often.)
Cappuccino Mocha Coffee Cake
Ingredients: Topping
- 1/3 cup Baker’s Sweetened Coconut
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
Ingredients: Cake
- 2 cups Bisquick®, the original not the fat-free mix
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips, melted
- 2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
Directions
- Pre-heat oven to 400ºF and prepare an 8″x8″x2″ square baking pan by spraying with Original Pam® or a similar product like Baker’s Joy®. (If the pan is dark or nonstick, reduce heat to 375 degrees.
- Mix topping ingredients (coconut, nuts, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1 tablespoon melted butter) and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients except the chocolate chips and coffee granules.
- Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping the bowl often to make sure everything is mixed together. Then beat on medium speed for 3 minutes. Pour into the prepared pan.
- Stir together the chocolate chips and instant coffee granules. Spoon this mixture evenly over the batter. Then take a knife or a fork and drag it through the batter a few times so that you swirl the chocolate-coffee mixture throughout in a marbled design.
- Sprinkle coconut topping mixture evenly over the top.
- Bake 25 minutes or until light golden brown.
- Cut into squares and serve warm.
- Option 1: Use brown sugar for a buttery taste.
- Option 2: Place a lace cake paper over the top and sift powdered sugar evenly over it. Carefully lift the cake paper to reveal a pretty design on the top. Cut into squares and serve.
I haven’t tried this in a Bundt® pan yet, but I’m going to the next time I make it. I love the prettiness of a Bundt®. Just reduce the heat to 325-350. By the way, I have the Bundt pan my mom gave me 35 years ago. The secret? Never put it in a dishwasher.
Takeaway Truth
It’s 2 weeks since Hurricane Harvey devastated the Texas Gulf Coast. I’m praying for all the people in Florida and the eastern seaboard. I’d love to share the comfort of a warm cake with them.
