Photo: Sticky Chocolate Cake Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 sticks butter, softened, plus more for pan
- 2 cups dark brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee
- 1 1/3 cups water
- 6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
- 5 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for pan
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 3/4 cup raisins
- 1 cup walnuts
- Confectioners' sugar, for garnish
Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Cream butter and sugar with an electric mixture until light and fluffy. Heat coffee, water, and chocolate in a saucepan over low heat, stirring often until chocolate has melted entirely. Add coffee-chocolate mixture to the creamed sugar and butter. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time until incorporated, and then mix in vanilla extract. Combine flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in a mixing bowl and stir together with a fork until incorporated. Gradually beat the dry mixture into the wet mixture. Finally, fold in the raisins and walnuts.
Butter and lightly dust a bundt pan with flour. Pour batter into pan and bake about 45 to 50 minutes or until a sharp knife point inserted into the cake comes out clean. Let cool to room temperature on a rack before inverting. Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve.

Followed the recipe to a T, cake overflowed the bundt pan in less than half an hour of bake time, at one hour it was still baking, increased oven heat and put it on convection to get it done at 1 hour 15 minutes. Cake fell at an hour. Now I have a huge mess to clean up in the oven, and a cake that just tastes ok

I have made this cake so many times I have lost count too. Sometimes with raisins, usually without and sometimes with and sometimes without the nuts. All depends on the audience. Very liquidy, but it makes for the most moist cake ever...that and all the eggs! I love this cake for a potluck dessert at work or a make ahead dessert for the family. I am not a huge frosting fan, so this is a great cake for me, and it is so tasty, the frosting lovers of the family don't even notice there is none!
