We all need a perfect chocolate cake in our pocket. It’s the one we turn to when a child shares that there’s a siyum tomorrow, or when it’s Friday afternoon and we’re in the mood to bake an extra Shabbos treat. It’s great with ice cream for dessert, or with coffee for breakfast. And whether we sit down to enjoy a whole slice without guilt, or we take “just a sliver” at a time, a comforting chocolate cake makes us (and our families) smile. Yield: 1 cake
1 and 3/4 cups sugar
3/4 cup oil
3/4 cup orange juice
3/4 cup water
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups Glicks Flour
1/2 cup Gefen Cocoa Powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon Elite Instant Coffee
3/4 cup Gefen Confectioners’ Sugar
3 tablespoons cocoa
1/2 teaspoon Elite Instant Coffee, dissolved in 2 tablespoons boiling water
3 tablespoons oil
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a 9 x 13-inch baking pan, combine sugar, oil, orange juice, water, eggs, and vanilla.
Add flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and coffee; mix well. Bake for 40-45 minutes. Let cool.
In a bowl, combine confectioners’ sugar, cocoa, prepared coffee, and oil. Spread over cooled cake.

You missed out the water in the ingredients list! you only mentioned it in the instructions
I made the cake and it was quite dry;(
Thanks for pointing out! You’re supposed to add 3/4 cup of water
Great recipe, so easy and tasty. I did need to double the glaze to cover the cake, but we really enjoyed.
Really impressive for a cake mixed with a spoon! A lot of crumbs but a delicious chocolate cake.
Delicious! And super easy
