Add about 1 cup of chips to the batter.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mix in chopped walnuts:<\/strong> Mix in 3\/4 cup to 1 cup of chopped walnuts to the cake batter for added flavor and texture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make a coffee-flavored frosting:<\/strong> Add a little instant espresso powder to the buttercream for a coffee buttercream, or make a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/chocolate-cake-with-coffee-frosting\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/chocolate-cake-with-coffee-frosting\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">coffee-flavored frosting<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Chocolate-Coffee Cake<\/h2>\n<p>Store your coffee and chocolate cake in an airtight container, where it will keep for two to three days on the counter. To make it last a little longer, place the container in the refrigerator and enjoy the cake within four to five days.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze chocolate-coffee cake?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, you can. The secret to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/properly-storing-cakes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/properly-storing-cakes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">freezing<\/a> a frosted cake such as this one is to set the cake in the freezer until the frosting sets, for one to two hours. Once the frosting is hard, wrap the cake in two layers of plastic, then foil. The frozen cake will keep for several months.<\/p>\n<h2>Chocolate-Coffee Cake Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2034372\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Coffe-Chocolate-Cake_TOHD24_21347_AlejandroMonfort_16.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Taste Of Home Coffee Chocolate Cake\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Alejandro Monfort for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Can I use a different oil in place of canola oil?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes; this chocolate cake recipe with coffee includes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/confused-about-cooking-oils-bookmark-this-guide\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/confused-about-cooking-oils-bookmark-this-guide\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">canola oil<\/a> because of its mild flavor; vegetable oil and coconut oil also work well because they have mild flavors. In a pinch, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/can-you-use-olive-oil-instead-of-vegetable-oil\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/can-you-use-olive-oil-instead-of-vegetable-oil\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">mild olive oil<\/a> also works, but it may add a little flavor. Olive oil also tends to cost more, so a mix of part olive oil, part canola or vegetable oil may be used if you&#8217;re low on the canola or vegetable oil.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I use espresso or decaf coffee instead of regular black coffee?<\/h3>\n<p>You can. Using 1 cup of any room-temperature brewed coffee or espresso (without added cream, milk or sugar) works well in this recipe. Instant espresso is one way to get a nice, dark espresso flavor; unlike instant coffee, it tastes good, as long as you like espresso. Brew your choice of coffee a little strong for added flavor.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I make this cake without round baking pans?<\/h3>\n<p>Absolutely! If you don&#8217;t have round baking pans, pour the batter into a 13&#215;9-inch pan instead. You won&#8217;t have layers, but it&#8217;ll still make a delicious cake. Since the cake in a rectangular pan will have more surface area, it may bake faster, so keep an eye on it after 15 to 20 minutes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This chocolate-coffee cake recipe makes a deliciously moist chocolate cake flavored with coffee.

Since i dont have 2 pcs of a 9 inch round pan, so i poured all in just 1pc of 9 inch round pan. It took almost 1 hr to bake and the result was a cracked cake in the middle, slightly hardened on its top. The cake how ever was fluffy and very moist. Everyone loves it. So, i was wondering if it was becoz i poured all the batter into just 1 baking dish or could i hv done anythg else that was wrong to have my cake cracked like tht. I had the oven at the right temp. I only reduced the baking soda to 1 tsp as i felt 2 tsp was too much. Can anyone help me?
