Worthy of a Special Occasion

A 6-cup Bundt pan is smaller than the standard size. You can also use a 9-inch round cake pan.

Yield: 10 servings (serving size: 1 piece)

Ingredients

  • 1  cup  all-purpose flour
  • 1  cup  sugar
  • 1/2  cup  unsweetened cocoa
  • 1/2  teaspoon  baking soda
  • 1/4  teaspoon  salt
  • 1/4  cup  butter, softened
  • 2  large egg whites
  • 1  large egg
  • 1/2  cup  1% low-fat milk
  • 2  teaspoons  instant espresso granules
  • 1 1/2  teaspoons  vanilla extract
  • Cooking spray

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°.

Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour and next 4 ingredients (flour through salt) in a large bowl; stir well with a whisk. Add butter, egg whites, and egg; beat with a mixer at low speed 1 minute. Beat at high speed 1 minute. Add milk, espresso granules, and vanilla; beat 1 minute. Pour batter into a 6-cup Bundt pan coated with cooking spray.

Bake at 350° for 35 to 40 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes. Remove from pan; cool completely on a wire rack.

This was an excellent recipe! my family all enjoyed it... I didn't add the coffee into the cake but instead replaced it with a hand full or so of chocolate semi sweet chips and it was a rich tasting cake!02/28/09

This cake is delicious! I made a few changes due to not having the exact items on hand. I used 2% milk. Only had 1/4 cup of Hershey's regular cocoa left in the container so I added 1/4 cup of Hershey's Dutch Processed cocoa. I did not use any coffee. The cake is moist and dense and not overly sweet. Of course I got carried away and made a buttercream icing which made the cake even better.02/17/09
