Einkorn Mocha Coffee Cake
Recipe by Shaye Elliott. The perfect coffee cake for chocolate lovers! Did we mention the chocolate crumble? Best served on a quiet morning with a cup of coffee. You can swap the milk chocolate bars for dark chocolate if you prefer!
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°. Butter a 9x13 pan and set aside.
- For the cake, sift together the flour, baking powder, and sea salt. Set aside.
- In a stand mixer, combine the sour cream, vanilla extract, egg yolks, and sugar. Whip on medium-high for 5 minutes or until pale and frothy. Add in the melted butter, espresso powder, and chocolate pieces. Mix to combine.
- Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and use a spatula to combine the two until just combined, being careful not to overwork the cake. Pour the mixture into the prepared cake pan and use the spatula to evenly spread it on the bottom of the pan.
- Place the cake into the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
- While the bottom layer of the cake is baking, combine the crumble ingredients in a bowl. Use a pastry cutter to work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse sand.
- Remove the cake from the oven and sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over top of the slightly baked cake. Return the cake to the oven and bake for an additional 45 minutes, or until completely set in the middle.
- Let cool completely before cutting and serving. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired.

Feel free to adjust this recipe to your liking! If you loved it with 4 tablespoons, go with that! An espresso shot is roughly 1 oz of liquid coffee.

Hi, I made this once and it was delicious. I just noticed it states 4 espresso shots for the batter. I must have overlooked that the first time and used 4 tablespoons. What’s the quantity of espresso shots, meaning how do I make it ? How much water?

If you prefer a more moist cake, we recommend using shots of espresso.
