  • PREPARE THE GLAZE:.
  • Combine powdered sugar, maple syrup, 2 tablespoons cream, and espresso powder in medium bowl.

Transfer glaze to a pastry bag fitted with a #3 plain tip (slightly smaller than 1/8 inch). (Alternatively, transfer glaze to a small heavy-duty sealable plastic bag and press out excess air. Snip off 1 corner, making a small hole.) Pipe glaze back and forth over top of cake, letting it drip down sides. Let glaze set 30 minutes at room temperature.
  • Serve cake with dollops of sour cream and strawberries.

Tips:

  • Soften butter and cream cheese to room temperature: This will ensure a smooth and creamy batter.
  • Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender cake.
  • Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients: This will help prevent overmixing, which can result in a tough cake.
  • Fold in chocolate chips: Be careful not to overmix, as this can cause the chocolate chips to melt and bleed into the batter.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before glazing: This will help the glaze set properly.
