  5. With mixer on lowest setting, slowly pour hot coffee into the batter. SLOWLY!! Be careful not to splash or hit the blade or beater. You want to pour down the side of the bowl. This step can also be done by hand. Add a little coffee at a time and stir until all the coffee is absorbed by the batter.

Recipe Notes

Note: This batter will be thin. This is totally normal and what we want!!

This batter does rise well in the pan. Don't worry that you pan is not full and don't fill your pans to far up with this batter.

This makes a very moist cake. It can be difficult to work with if you are a wedding cake baker straight from the oven but is excellent after a night in the freezer!

This cocoa powder is what makes this cake!!!! Make sure you are using this or a similar dark high quality cocoa powder! You will not regret it! Yum!
