Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups butter, melted and cooled
- 0.75 cups brewed coffee, cooled
- 0.5 cups sour cream
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 units large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cups dark chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cups cold butter, cubed
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour (for streusel)
- 0.25 cups chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brewed coffee, sour cream, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Divide the batter into two portions. Stir the cocoa powder and dark chocolate chips into one portion, creating the mocha layer.
Pour the plain batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Add the mocha batter on top and gently swirl with a knife to create a marbled effect.
To make the streusel topping, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, flour, and cold butter in a bowl. Use a fork or your fingers to mix until crumbly. Add chopped nuts if using.
Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the batter in the pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve with a cup of coffee or tea. Enjoy!
