4 eggs |
3/4 cup 2% milk |
1/4 cup club soda |
3 tablespoons butter, melted |
2 tablespoons strong brewed coffee |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
3 tablespoons sugar |
2 tablespoons baking cocoa |

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened |

2 tablespoons vanilla extract |
