Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of fine salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for the pan
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream
1 cup chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Combine the flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl and mix well. Add the butter and mix thoroughly with your fingers or a fork until all of the butter has been evenly distributed and incorporated into the flour. Form into small to medium clumps with your fingers.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8-inch square cake pan.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a small bowl.
  • Beat together the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla. Reduce the speed to low and add the flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the flour, beating until just incorporated.
  • Spoon half of the cake batter (it will be very thick) into the prepared pan and smooth with an offset spatula. Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top. Spoon the remaining cake batter on top and smooth the top. Sprinkle on the crumb topping.
  • Bake until the cake and topping are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let cool in the pan 20 minutes, then invert onto a plate; invert back onto a rack to cool completely.

Categories     Chocolate     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 10

10 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 2/3 cups sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons (7 1/4 oz) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup plus 1/3 cup (2 1/2 oz) unsweetened natural cocoa powder (not Dutch-processed)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 cups coffee, cooled to warm

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9-inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray with flour. Line the pan with parchment or aluminum foil, leaving an overhang on opposite sides to lift the cake out after baking. Spray the parchment or foil with nonstick cooking spray with flour. Add the butter and sugar to a large bowl. Use a wooden spoon to cream them until smooth and light. Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Continue whisking until the batter is smooth and the sugar starts to dissolve, about 30 seconds. Add the vanilla and salt and whisk to incorporate. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and baking powder over the batter then add all of the coffee. Gently whisk the batter until it is smooth and most of the lumps are gone. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Gently shake the pan to spread into an even layer. Bake for 40-42 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let the cake cool for 20 minutes, then use the parchment or foil overhang to lift the cake from the pan. Set on the rack and let cool completely (you can also cut and serve when it's still slightly warm). Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.

Tips:

  • Proper Measurements: Precise measurements of ingredients, especially flour and baking powder, ensure a well-balanced and consistent cake texture.
  • Mixing Technique: Use the creaming method to mix the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This incorporates air into the batter, resulting in a tender and airy cake.
  • Folding Dry Ingredients: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula. Overmixing can develop gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough cake.
  • Baking Time and Temperature: Preheat the oven accurately to ensure even baking. Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Cooling Before Frosting: Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting. This prevents the frosting from melting and seeping into the cake, ensuring a smooth and even frosting layer.

Conclusion:

This versatile coffee-cocoa snack cake offers a delightful blend of flavors and textures. With its moist and tender crumb, rich coffee notes, and a hint of cocoa, it's a perfect treat for any occasion. Experiment with different frosting options, such as a simple glaze, whipped cream, or a creamy chocolate ganache, to create a customized dessert that suits your preferences. Whether served as an afternoon snack, a dessert after a meal, or packed for a lunchbox, this coffee-cocoa snack cake is sure to be a hit. So, gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and embark on a culinary journey to create this delectable treat!
