This is a cake my mom used to make for my birthday and whenever I would ask her to make it. Ingredients:
cake |
4 eggs, separated |
2 cups confectioners' sugar |
1 cup butter, softened |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 cup brewed strong coffee, cooled |
1 cup chocolate sprinkles (jimmies) |
frosting |
2 cups confectioners' sugar |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
2 tablespoons cocoa powder |
2 tablespoons hot brewed coffee |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10-inch tube pan. 2. Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form soft mounds rather than a sharp peak. 3. Beat 2 cups confectioners' sugar and 1 cup butter together in a bowl until creamy; add egg yolks, 1 at a time, until fully incorporated. 4. Mix flour and baking powder together in a bowl. Stir flour mixture into creamed butter mixture, alternating with cooled coffee until just mixed; mix in sprinkles. Fold egg whites into batter. Pour batter into the prepared pan. 5. Bake in the preheated oven until edges of cake pull away from sides and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool cake in pan for 1/2 hour before turning onto a serving plate. 6. Beat 2 cups confectioners' sugar, 1/2 cup butter, and cocoa powder together in a bowl until smooth; beat in hot coffee and vanilla extract until frosting is creamy. Spread frosting onto cooled cake. |
