How to Make Amazing Solan Family Chocolate Cake Aka 3 Hole Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: oil, water, vinegar, vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. 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.
  6. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. While the cake is cooling, prepare the mocha glaze (see glaze instructions below).
  8. Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle with glaze and serve. Enjoy!
  9. **Mocha Glaze Instructions:**
  10. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and instant coffee granules.
  11. Gradually whisk in the milk until a smooth, pourable glaze forms. Add more milk, if needed, to reach desired consistency.
  12. Drizzle immediately over the cooled cake. The glaze will harden quickly.
