When it comes to making a dessert cake that the entire family would enjoy, this is one of my favorites to make. What makes this cake so fantastic is it’s chocolate fudge-like consistency with the nutty crunchy topping. If you are a chocolate lover, then this one is for you.
Cake Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 oz. (2 squares) unsweetened chocolate
1 cup water
1 cup quick rolled oats
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup chocolate flavored syrup
1/2 cup cold coffee
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Topping Ingredients:
1/3 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup whipping cream
3/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup finely chopped nuts
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 13 x 9″ baking pan.
In a large saucepan, melt the butter and chocolate squares; stir in water. Bring chocolate mixture to a boil. Stir in the rolled oats, granulated sugar, brown sugar, chocolate syrup, coffee liquid, vanilla extract and eggs; mix until all ingredients are well combined. Stir in the all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt into the chocolate mixture, mixing well.
Pour the cake batter into your prepared baking pan. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 25-30 minutes or until the cake tests done when lightly touched in the center. You can also use a cake tester, if it comes out clean, it’s done.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine all of the topping ingredients in the order that they are given. Bring to a full boil over medium heat, stirring the mixture constantly. Reduce heat and simmer for an additional 3 minutes or until the mixture has slightly thickened. Pour this hot mixture over your hot cake.
Place cake back into your oven and bake for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the topping is hot, bubbly and slightly browned. Remove cake from the oven and let it cool before serving.
