Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
110g
1 cup dark chocolate
230g
1.50 cups sugar
300g
1.50 cups espresso coffee
340g
3 eggs
150g
3 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
380g
1 tsp baking powder
5g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
2. Melt the Chocolate and Butter: In a heatproof bowl, combine the butter and chopped dark chocolate. Melt them together over a pot of simmering water (double-boiler method) or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
3. Prepare the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar and cooled espresso coffee until well combined.
- Add the slightly cooled chocolate-butter mixture into the sugar-coffee mixture and beat until smooth.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder.
5. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in batches, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can result in a denser cake.
6. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Tap the pan gently on the counter a few times to remove any air bubbles.
7. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
8. Cool: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve: After the cake has cooled completely, cut it into squares or desired shapes. Serve on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream, a scoop of ice cream, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an extra indulgent treat.

Tips:

- Ensure your butter is at room temperature before starting to make it easier to cream with sugar.

- Melt your dark chocolate slowly and gently over a double boiler to prevent it from burning.

- Use freshly brewed espresso for the best flavor; avoid using instant coffee if possible.

- Sift your flour and baking powder together to prevent lumps and ensure an even rise in the cake.

- Let the cake cool completely before frosting or serving to ensure it holds its shape and flavors develop fully.

With this rich coffee chocolate cake recipe, you can create a dessert that's both impressive and indulgent. Follow the tips to get the best results and enjoy the combination of coffee and chocolate in every bite. Whether for a celebration or a simple treat, this cake is sure to become a favorite.
