How to Make Amazing Solan Family Chocolate Cake Aka 3 Hole Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: oil, water, vinegar, vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the mocha glaze (see glaze instructions below).
- Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle with glaze and serve. Enjoy!
- **Mocha Glaze Instructions:**
- In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and instant coffee granules.
- Gradually whisk in the milk until a smooth, pourable glaze forms. Add more milk, if needed, to reach desired consistency.
- Drizzle immediately over the cooled cake. The glaze will harden quickly.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
