Time 1h30m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 pound butter (2 sticks), cut into pieces, plus 2 teaspoons for buttering pan
1 cup unbleached flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 large eggs, separated
1 3/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
1 tablespoon instant powdered coffee
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons plain yogurt
Mocha frosting (see recipe)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter the inside of a 12-to 14-cup Bundt pan with 2 teaspoons softened butter.
  • Into a mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • Put egg whites and 1/4 cup sugar into a food processor outfitted with the metal blade. Process about 8 seconds. With the machine running, add 2 tablespoons warm water through the feed tube. Process 2 minutes or until the mixture is thick and holds its shape. Scrape the mixture into a 1-quart mixing bowl.
  • Add egg yolks, 1 1/2 cups sugar, the cocoa and coffee powder to the processor (do not wash it first). Process for 1 minute. Add butter, then process for 1 minute, stopping the machine occasionally to scrape down the bowl. Add vanilla and yogurt and process about 5 seconds.
  • Add flour mixture and pulse just until it is almost totally incorporated. Do not overprocess.
  • Scrape in the egg white mixture. Pulse 2 or 3 times or until egg whites are almost, but not totally, blended.
  • Pour and scrape the mixture into the buttered pan. Bake 35 minutes, or until the cake pulls away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan 10 minutes.
  • Invert cake onto a wire rack and remove from the pan. Let cool completely. Frost with mocha frosting.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cake didn't turn out as expected. It was a bit too dense and the frosting was a little grainy.

I substituted almond milk for the regular milk and it turned out great! This cake is definitely a keeper.

This cake was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I might have overbaked it.

The cake was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I might try using less sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of coffee, but this cake was surprisingly delicious. The coffee flavor was subtle and not overpowering.
