Ingredients

Cake

  • 1/3 cup hot water

  • 1/3 cup oil

  • 2 eggs

  • 2 tablespoons espresso powder

Glaze

  • 2 tablespoons hot water

  • 2 teaspoons espresso powder

  • 1 tablespoon margarine, melted

Alternative Chocolate Cake Recipe

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 cup orange juice

  • 1/2 cup oil

  • 1 cup boiling water

  • 2 tablespoons instant espresso powder

  • 3/4 cup Glicks Chocolate Chips

Directions

1.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

2.

Combine 1/3 cup hot water, oil, eggs and two tablespoons espresso powder in a mixing bowl.

3.

Add cake mix and mix until smooth. Fold in chocolate chips and transfer to a sheet pan. (Note: Batter will not fill up the whole tray.) Bake for 35 minutes.

4.

While cake is baking, dissolve remaining two teaspoons of espresso powder with remaining two tablespoons hot water, margarine, and vanilla. Gradually add confectioners’ sugar, mixing continuously until no lumps remain. Pour glaze over cooled cake and slice into small squares.

Notes:

To prepare from scratch: Mix flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, vanilla sugar, and salt. Add eggs, orange juice, and oil, and mix until smooth. Combine two tablespoons of espresso powder in boiling water and add to the batter (once batter is well mixed, so eggs do not cook) and mix. Fold in the chocolate chips. Pour batter into a well-greased sheet pan. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 35 minutes. Proceed with step 4 above.
