A couple weeks ago I made this delicious cake (recipe adapted from Joy The Baker) for a Thanksgiving dinner and from what I can tell, people really liked it (or maybe were they just be very polite?). At least 3 other persons who I trust for their taste buds told me they liked it. So naturally I thought I would share the recipe at some point on the blog. I can be lazy sometimes and there was a chance it would not happened, except that this time Danny and I started to crave that cake quite a bite. We craved it so much that I made it again this past weekend. Still delicious, still moist, still the best chocolate cake I have ever made. Such a cake deserved a name and I came up with Choco-Fé. A mix between chocolate and café, the noun fée in French meaning fairy. So here we go for the list of ingredients to make a Choco-Fé.
Ingredients :
- 2 cups of fresh brewed coffee
- 2 1/3 cups flower
- 1 cup cocoa powder (the best you can find)
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1 1/4 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 2 1/2 teaspoons of baking soda
- 2 whole eggs and 1 egg yolk
- 1 cup canola or olive oil ( I tried with both)
- 1 1/3 cups of buttermilk
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
First brew the coffee and make it boil with the cocoa powder.
Turn the oven on 350°F.
Whisk together sugar, eggs and egg yolk till it’s white.
Add the buttermilk, oil and vanilla extract.
Mix for 2 minutes.
Add the flower, Kosher salt and baking soda.
Mix 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the cocoa/coffee mix to the batter.
Mix another 2 minutes.
Pour the batter in a buttered cake pan.
Cook for 45min.
Eat!
