Ingredients
For the cakes
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup brewed black coffee; slightly cooled
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup 60% cacao bittersweet chocolate baking chips
Frosting
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar, sifted
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
- Whole milk
Chocolate Covered Strawberries
- 6 large fresh strawberries
- Dark chocolate candy making & dipping wafers
- Multi-colored or chocolate sprinkles (optional)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray a mini Bundt pan or a 6-cup jumbo muffin pan with non-stick baking spray.
- Whisk all the dry ingredients for the cakes together using a Mix-Stir in a large mixing bowl. Add in the wet ingredients and mix. Add baking chips and mix again. Fill each well in mini Bundt pan or muffin pan with batter, filling about 2/3 full.
- Bake 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in middle of cake comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool at least 20 minutes. Remove cakes from pan and place on wire rack.
- To make the frosting, beat the confectioners sugar, butter and cocoa powder together in a stand mixer on medium-slow speed until mixture comes together. Turn the mixer down to slow and add 1 tablespoon of milk. Beat until milk is incorporated. If the frosting is dry, add milk, a tablespoon at a time. Increase speed to high and beat until the frosting is light and fluffy. Chill for about 30 minutes before frosting the cakes.
- To make the chocolate covered strawberries cover a baking sheet with parchment paper, wax paper or a non-stick baking mat. Wash and thoroughly dry each strawberry. Microwave dipping chocolate according to package directions. Dip each strawberry and place on baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least 20-30 minutes so chocolate can firm up.
- To assemble the cakes, frost the top of each cake. Sprinkle with decorative sprinkles.
- place one chocolate covered strawberry on top and serve.
