Sour cream and cocoa flavor this moist cake. It boasts a tender crumb, a thick chocolate glaze, and a festive sprinkling of pistachios. Ingredients:
1 cup cocoa |
1 tablespoon instant coffee granules |
1 1/2 cups boiling water |
1 1/2 cups butter or margarine, softened |
2 1/4 cups sugar |
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar |
5 large eggs |
1 (8-ounce) container sour cream |
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
3/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate morsels, divided |
1/4 cup butter or margarine |
3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream |
1/2 cup chopped pistachio nuts, toasted |
Directions:
1. Combine cocoa, coffee, and boiling water in a bowl, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool.
2. Beat 1 1/2 cups butter at medium speed with an electric mixer about 2 minutes or until creamy. Gradually add sugars, beating 5 to 7 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until yellow disappears.
3. Add sour cream and vanilla to cooled cocoa mixture. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt; add to butter mixture alternately with cocoa mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Stir in 1 cup chocolate morsels. Pour batter into a heavily greased and floured 10 x 3 1/2 (12-cup) Bundt pan. (Pan will be very full.)
4. Bake at 350° for 1 hour and 5 minutes or until a long wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack 15 minutes; remove from pan, and cool on wire rack.
5. Meanwhile, combine remaining 1 cup chocolate morsels and 1/4 cup butter in a small saucepan; cook over low heat until melted. Remove from heat; stir in whipping cream. Let glaze stand 45 minutes.
6. Place cooled cake on rack over wax paper. Pour chocolate glaze over cake; spoon any excess glaze on wax paper over cake. Sprinkle with pistachios.
