How to Make Chocolate Java Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
- In a double boiler, melt 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate with 1/4 cup of strong brewed coffee and 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar. Stir until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Stir in 1 tablespoon of coffee-flavored liqueur.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter and 1 3/4 cups of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in the cooled chocolate mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup of milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Divide batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Frost with your favorite chocolate frosting. Garnish with chocolate-covered coffee beans (optional).
