Sticky Chocolate Cake

Sharon123's Note:

This recipe comes from an episode called Long Lazy Cooking with Dave Lieberman. So yummy! You may replace already brewed coffee for the instant coffee and water(1 1/3 cups).

• Total Time: 1 hrs 10 mins
• Prep Time: 20 mins
• Cook Time: 50 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 12

• 1 cup butter, softened, plus more for pan (1 cup)
• 2 cups dark brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon instant coffee
• 1 1/3 cups water
• 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 5 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for pan
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 3/4 cup raisins (optional)
• 1 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)
• confectioners' sugar, for garnish

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
2. Cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Heat coffee, water(or 1 1/3 cups already brewed coffee), and chocolate in a saucepan over low heat, stirring often until chocolate has melted completely. Add the coffee chocolate mixture to creamed sugar and butter. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time until well mixed, and then stir in vanilla extract. Combine flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in a mixing bowl and stir together with a fork until incorporated. A little at a time, beat the dry mixture into the wet mixture. Finally, fold in the raisins and walnuts.
3. Butter and lightly dust a bundt pan with flour. Pour the batter into pan and bake about 45 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Let cool to room temperature on a rack before inverting. Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve. Enjoy!

This is so good! I added the raisins and it was so good with the chocolate chips. It's too bad it didn't last too long in my household.
