An indulgent chocolate coffee cake infused with Baileys Irish Cream, combining rich chocolate, espresso flavor, and a moist cake texture perfect for chocolate and coffee lovers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar (160 g)
  • 2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp instant espresso powder
  • 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups (300 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar (70 g)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2/3 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup Baileys Irish Cream
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour (360 g)
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and baking powder until smooth.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. Add milk, sour cream, and Baileys Irish Cream; beat until just combined.
  5. Gradually add flour and mix until combined.
  6. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together the packed dark brown sugar, cocoa powder, espresso powder, and salt for the filling; add butter and whisk until combined.
  8. Sprinkle filling evenly over the batter in the pan.
  9. Spread the remaining batter over the filling layer.
  10. Bake for 60 to 75 minutes or until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. If edges brown too quickly, cover loosely with foil in the last 10-15 minutes of baking.
  12. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Optionally, drizzle with melted chocolate.

Notes

1. Use instant espresso powder, not regular ground coffee, for best flavor.
2. Cover cake with foil toward the end of baking to prevent over-browning.
3. For extra indulgence, serve with vanilla or coffee ice cream.
