This is a moist, fudgy mocha cake that makes its own thick sauce as it bakes! Perfectly moist cake on top, fudgy warm mocha sauce on the bottom … add a scoop of ice cream and you’ve got heaven! (No frosting needed!)
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Butter and flour a 9″ square cake pan.
In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, vanilla and half-and-half; set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, 3/4 cup sugar, salt and 1/4 cup cocoa. Stir in the chocolate chips, and pour the batter into your prepared baking pan.
In another small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, remaining 1/4 cup sugar, and remaining 1/4 cup cocoa. Sprinkle over the cake batter.
Pour the hot coffee over the batter/sugar and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the top of the cake is set (toothpick inserted just into the top 1/2 inch of the cake comes out clean) and the bottom is bubbling.
Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream! (Although it does taste almost as good the next day!)

Oh Heavens! This was death by chocolate! Everyone loved it. I had to be sure there was plenty of vanilla ice cream around. This is definitely on the top of my chocolate cake pile.
I ended up adding a bit of butter flavoring and using half dark cocoa and half regular (that’s what I had on hand) and chocolate flavored coffee.

This was fantastic!! I made it in a casserole dish & it took longer to bake, but it looked pretty on my table. Thanks for the substitution idea. I may try it that way next time. I would definately make this again for a gathering.

Pam – you can substitute boiling water for the coffee… it will take away some of the richness, but I understand not wanting to buy a special ingredient for one recipe!!

Any suggestions on what I could use in place of the coffee. I don’t drink coffee and don’t buy it or use in recipes but would like to make this but without the coffee! Thanks for any suggestions!

This definitely looks like heaven, oh my god!
I’m so making this as soon as possible!
