Description

To make chocolate mocha cake, I take a basic chocolate cake recipe and add 1 (one) tablespoon instant coffee to the liquid for the cake. If I am in a hurry, I use the Pillsbury Chocolate Fudge cake mix. If I am not rushed for time I use an old family recipe.

3⁄4 c

melted butter

1 1⁄2 c

Sugar

Eggs (slightly beaten)

1⁄4 c

cocoa powder

1 c

Milk

2 c

Cake Flour

1⁄2 t

In a large bowl add softened butter and sugar.
Using a whisk or electric mixer, blend the butter and sugar until creamy and fluffy.
Add beaten eggs and mix well.

In a small bowl add flour, salt, baking powder, soda and cocoa powder. Mix well and and to large bowl containing liquid ingredients.
Mix well and pour into a greased and floured 9X13 pan.
