Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250°F.
- Butter a 9 x 3-inch round cake pan with a removable bottom.
- Line the pan with a piece of foil, pushing it onto the bottom, up the sides, and over the rim smoothly without tearing.
- If using foil that is 12 inches wide, use two pieces overlap and fold them together smoothly.
- Lightly but thoroughly butter the foil.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, use espresso instead of strong coffee, and consider adding a pinch of sea salt to enhance the chocolate taste. If you prefer a dairy-free option, substitute the unsalted butter with coconut oil. Be sure to beat the eggs lightly to ensure a smooth batter, and avoid overmixing to maintain a fudgy texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Mocha Fudge Cake with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with Linda Reneau's Toasted Coconut Pecan Pie for a dessert spread. Garnish with chocolate shavings or fresh berries for an elegant touch.
