Ingredients

1 1/3 cups brewed coffee
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 1/4 cups sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons Kosher salt (reduce to 1 teaspoon if using table salt)
2 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

3/4 cup unsalted butter
3 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup sour cream, at room temperature
1/4 cup brewed coffee, cooled
1/4 cup half and half or cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 10 in round bundt pan with butter or use Baker’s Joy spray. Set aside.
- For the cake: Place cocoa powder and coffee in a small saucepan and bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- In the bowl of a mixer, combine sugar, salt, baking soda, eggs, and yolk. Beat on low speed for about 1 minute. Add buttermilk, oil, and vanilla and beat for another minute or so.
- Add flour to sugar mixture and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add the cooled cocoa/coffee mixture and beat on low speed for another minute.
- Pour into the greased pan and bake for about 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let the cake cool at least 15 minutes before inverting onto serving tray.
- For the frosting: Chop the chocolate into small pieces and add it to a double boiler or heat proof bowl over a pot of simmering water. Melt chocolate, stirring occasionally.
- Melt butter in another pan or in the microwave.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the butter and chocolate. Add half the powdered sugar and whisk again. The mixture will seem very thick.
- Whisk in sour cream and the remaining powdered sugar. Don’t worry! It will come together! And it will be magical.
- Add coffee and cream and whisk together until smooth and glossy. This is a thick, spreadable frosting. If you’d like a more pourable glaze, simply add additional cream or half and half until you reach your desired consistency.
