It's time for me to have my cake and eat it too!!
My birthday was a perfect excuse to indulge in something ooey-gooey-and-chocolatey. Perfect recipe to share - and no leftovers! So it's a one time treat :)
Dark Chocolate Espresso Birthday Cake
1 T pure unsweetened cocoa powder
1 scoop of ABOUT TIME Chocolate Whey Isolate
1 cup espresso roasted coffee (at room temperature)
1/2 t pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup dark chocolate baking chips
2 T Justin's Chocolate Hazelnut Butter spread
1/4 cup dark chocolate baking chips
2 T unsweetened almond milk
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Combine all the dry cake ingredients in a small mixing bowl
Slowly add in coffee, egg, oil and vanilla
Once batter is thick add in chocolate chips
Spray 2 small (approx 6 in. wide) round baking dishes with non stick cooking spray
Add batter equally to the pans and bake for 20-25 minutes at 350 until center is solid (toothpick in center should come out clean - you know the trick)
Meanwhile prepare frosting - in a small microwave-safe dish combine chocolate chips, almond milk, and greek yogurt. Microwave approx. 20 secs and stir chocolate mixture with a fork. You may need to microwave again until chips melt.
Once cakes are done baking - let cool and carefully remove from baking dishes (I didn't do this so carefully - I had to cut the cake in half to get it out -- it's okay I pieced it back together for presentation -- made it easy to split)
Place nut butter between two layers and top with chocolate sauce
Remember it's okay to have cake and eat it too - on your birthdays!! Bring this cake to your next office birthday or ladies night!
