How to Make Almond Mocha Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Generously grease a 12-cup bundt pan or 10-inch tube pan with butter or cooking spray.
  3. Gently press whole almonds into the bottom and halfway up the sides of the prepared pan.
  4. In a medium saucepan over low heat, warm 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee.
  5. Add 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted margarine and 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips to the warm coffee.
  6. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and melted.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon amaretto.
  8. Pour the chocolate mixture into a large bowl and let cool for 5 minutes.
  9. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
  10. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the cooled chocolate mixture at low speed, mixing until just moistened.
  11. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 2 large eggs.
  12. Beat at medium speed for about 30 seconds, or until well blended.
  13. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  14. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  15. Let the cake cool upright in the pan for 25 minutes.
  16. Invert the cake onto a serving plate and let it cool completely.
  17. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
