Decadent Chocolate Coffee Cake

1.Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.

2.In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well combined.

3.Add the softened butter to the dry ingredients and mix on medium speed until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4.In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, brewed coffee, and vanilla extract until well combined.

5.Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

6.Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

7.Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8.Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

9.Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle caramel syrup over the top for a decadent finish.
