This Chocolate Spice Cake is the perfect coffee cake to make for your next bake sale or pot luck. Everyone loves a chocolate cake. Well this is not your average version!
Firstly, instead of making a chocolate batter with cocoa powder, I grate in pieces of milk chocolate so that the cake crumb is dotted with melted chocolate as you bite into it. I also add delicious ground cinnamon and cloves to give the cake a spicy fragrant flavor – it smells like Christmas when you bake it! And lastly, the addition of sour milk gives the crumb a wonderful lightness and creaminess, with just a hint of sour. It’s like serving your chocolate pudding with sour cream, works a treat!
To make Chocolate Spice Cake, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a round baking pan and dust with flour.
Beat the butter and sugar together in a bowl.
Beat the eggs in, one by one.
Sift the flour and spices together in a separate bowl.
Gradually fold the flour mixture into the butter mixture, until fully combined.
Add the baking soda to the sour milk, stir and and pour into the batter. Mix well.
Grate the chocolate into the batter and mix.
Bake the cake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean
