2 tablespoons Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon instant espresso coffee powder or granules
1 tablespoon cold butter, cut into 6 pieces
1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup chopped pecans
3 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1/4 cup instant espresso coffee powder or granules
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
5 eggs
3 tablespoons whipping cream
2/3 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
2 teaspoons instant espresso coffee powder or granules

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325°F. Grease 12-cup fluted tube cake pan with shortening (do not use cooking spray); lightly flour. In small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons flour, brown sugar and 1 tablespoon espresso powder. Using pastry blender or fork, cut in 1 tablespoon butter pieces until crumbly. Stir in 1/2 cup chocolate chips and pecans; set aside.
  • In medium bowl, mix 3 cups flour, baking powder and salt; set aside. In 1-cup glass measuring cup, combine milk and 1/4 cup espresso powder; set aside.
  • In large bowl, beat granulated sugar, 1 cup butter, vanilla and eggs with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds. Beat on high speed 5 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Beat flour mixture into sugar mixture alternately with milk mixture on low speed, beating just until smooth after each addition. Spread 3 cups batter into pan. Sprinkle streusel mixture over batter. Carefully spread remaining batter over streusel.
  • Bake 1 hour 30 minutes to 1 hour 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean and crack at the center top of cake no longer looks moist. Cool 20 minutes; remove from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 2 hours.
  • In small microwavable bowl, combine glaze ingredients. Microwave on High 30 seconds; stir until smooth. Spoon over cake, allowing some to drip down side of cake.

I loved the flavor of this cake, but it was a little too dense for my liking. I might try using a different flour next time.

I'm not a big fan of coffee-flavored desserts, but this cake was surprisingly good. The mocha streusel ribbon added a nice touch of sweetness and crunch.

The cake was a bit dry for my taste, but the frosting was delicious. I would try it again with a different cake recipe.
