Chocolate Mocha Cake Recipe

Creamed Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup low-fat cream cheese
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • Dry Ingredients

  • 1-3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 2/3 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup brewed coffee
  • 1/3 cup fat-free chocolate sauce
  • Ganache:

  • 1/3 cup evaporated skim milk
  • 2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Preheat oven to 325°. Lightly coat a 9-inch bundt pan with cooking spray. Dust with all-purpose flour.

    In a medium mixing bowl, cream butter, cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer on low speed until sugar is dissolved. Add egg and mix until combined.

    In another medium bowl, sift together dry ingredients: flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

    In a third medium bowl, combine wet ingredients: buttermilk, vanilla, coffee and chocolate sauce.

    Add half of dry ingredient mixture to creamed mixture, and mix on low speed for 30 seconds. To this, add half of wet ingredient mixture, and mix until just combined. Add remaining dry ingredient mixture, and mix for about 30 seconds. Add remaining wet ingredient mixture, and mix briefly until smooth.

    Pour into bundt pan. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

    Remove from oven and let sit for 15 minutes on a wire rack to cool. Invert cake onto a large plate and let cool completely before pouring ganache on top.
