How to Make Caffe Borgia Cake
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 10- to 12-cup tube pan or bundt pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the cocoa powder and chocolate chips until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda, baking powder, and flour.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the syrup: In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the 2 cups of sugar and 1 cup of water. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a simmer.
- Remove from heat and stir in the liqueur.
- Once the cake is baked, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Run a thin knife or spatula around the edges of the cake to loosen it from the pan.
- Invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, use a thin skewer or toothpick to poke holes all over the cake, about an inch apart.
- Slowly pour the warm syrup over the cake, allowing it to be absorbed.
- Let the cake cool completely before serving.
