The rich flavors of mocha and espresso come together in this delicious coffee cake. It goes well with coffee in the morning because it has a pecan streusel topping and a sweet vanilla glaze. Enjoy this treat when you wake up!
Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder. 2 tablespoons instant espresso powder. 1 teaspoon baking powder. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1 cup granulated sugar. 2 large eggs. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1 cup sour cream. 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips. 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
Instructions: Warm up the oven to 350F 175C and grease a 9x9-inch 23x23 cm baking pan. Mix the cocoa powder, instant espresso powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl with a whisk. Put away. Melt the butter and mix it with the sugar in another bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy. One at a time, add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture, making sure to mix well after each addition. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ones, mixing them in with the sour cream every so often. Start with the dry ingredients and end with the wet ones. Don't mix any further than that. The chopped pecans and semisweet chocolate chips should be carefully mixed in. Spread out the batter in the baking pan that has been prepared. Set aside 2 tablespoons of cold butter and 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour. In a bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of chopped pecans, and 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour. Mix with a fork or your hands until it's crumbly. The streusel should be put on top of the cake batter. After the oven is hot, bake it for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean. Mix 1/2 cup of powdered sugar with 1-2 tablespoons of milk until you get the consistency you want for the vanilla glaze while the cake cools. Pour the vanilla glaze over the coffee cake that has already cooled. Cut your Mocha Espresso Coffee Cake with Pecan Streusel and Vanilla Glaze into pieces and serve them. Have your treat with coffee in it and be happy when you wake up.
