Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup brewed coffee
- 1 cup crushed Heath bars
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda. Set this dry mixture aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter and sugar mixture, beating well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the brewed coffee to the mixture, mixing on low speed until combined. The batter may look a bit thin, but that’s normal.
- Slowly add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cake tough.
- Fold in the crushed Heath bars gently using a spatula, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure an even layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Keep an eye on it towards the end of the baking time.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For serving, you can dust the top with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate sauce for an extra touch. Slice into 8 servings and enjoy your Heath Bar Chocolate Toffee Coffee Cake!
Tips
- Measure Accurately: For the best results, make sure to measure your ingredients accurately. Use a kitchen scale if possible, especially for the flour and cocoa powder.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before starting. This helps them blend more smoothly, resulting in a fluffier cake.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined. Overmixing can lead to a dense cake, so be gentle!
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so start checking your cake a few minutes before the suggested baking time. Insert a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool Completely: Allow the cake to cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This ensures the texture sets properly and makes for easier slicing.
- Add Toppings: For an extra touch of indulgence, consider topping your cake with whipped cream, chocolate ganache, or a sprinkle of crushed Heath bars for added crunch!
