How to Make Chocolate Coffee Cake

  1. Melt 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips over a double boiler until smooth.
  2. Stir in 1/2 cup of milk and 1/4 cup of strong brewed coffee.
  3. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the chocolate mixture for the topping.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then gradually add the chocolate-coffee mixture.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing in thirds until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour batter into a greased and floured 9-inch round baking pan.
  8. For the topping: Combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, a pinch of salt, and the reserved 2 tablespoons of chocolate mixture. Mix until crumbly.
  9. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the batter.
  10. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
