Time 1h50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 ¾ cups whole wheat flour
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup brewed black coffee, at room temperature
3 tablespoons instant espresso powder
1 cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
¾ cup unsweetened applesauce
¾ cup pure maple syrup
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup dark chocolate chips
¾ cup chopped walnuts
1 tablespoon powdered sugar, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  • Whisk whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, cardamom, and salt together in a medium bowl.
  • Whisk brewed coffee and espresso powder together in a large bowl. Add Greek yogurt, applesauce, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract; whish until thoroughly combined and no lumps remain. Stir in 1/2 of the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Repeat with remaining dry ingredients. Fold in chocolate chips and walnuts. Pour batter into the prepared pan and place the pan onto a baking sheet.
  • Place both pans in the preheated oven and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, 50 to 60 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Gently run a table knife around the edges of the pan to loosen. Remove the sides of the pan and allow cake to cool completely, 15 to 30 minutes more.
  • Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

The cake was dry and the coffee flavor was barely noticeable. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

This coffee cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
