Enticingly moist, this elegant cake features indulgent semi-sweet chocolate morsels, cocoa and a hint of coffee. Topped with a dollop of heavenly whipped cream, this cake is irresistible.
Recipe Ingredients:
2 cups (12 ounce package) NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon NESCAFÉ TASTER'S CHOICE 100% Pure Instant Coffee Granules
1/2 cup NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Baking Cocoa
1/3 cup granulated sugar
8 large eggs
Powdered sugar
Sweetened whipped cream (optional)

- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease bottom of 9-inch springform pan. Line bottom with parchment or wax paper. Grease paper.
- Place morsels, butter, water and coffee granules in medium, heavy-duty saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until melted and smooth. Stir in cocoa and granulated sugar until smooth. Remove from heat.
- Beat eggs in large mixer bowl for 5 minutes or until the volume doubles. Fold 1/3 of beaten eggs into chocolate mixture. Fold in remaining beaten eggs 1/3 at a time until thoroughly incorporated. Scrape batter into prepared pan.
- Bake for 35 to 37 minutes or until cake has risen (center will still move and appear underbaked) and edges start to get firm and shiny. Cool completely in pan on wire rack (center will sink slightly). Cover cake; refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. (Cake can be prepared up to 4 days in advance.)
