My grandmother used to bake this delicious cake for us when we visited her as kids. After the exhausting six-hour drive from our city to hers, it was the most exciting reception we could’ve wanted!
I love baking this cake for Shabbos, as its Bundt shape is elegant, the cocoa/coffee combination is complex, but the recipe is still easy enough to fit into a hectic Erev Shabbos program.
