One of my favorite desserts of all time is a family recipe my mom has been making since.. well.. forever. If you are wondering, jimmies are chocolate sprinkles which are mixed into this moist cake, giving it a nice chocolate flavor which pairs well with the coffee in the cake.
Ingredients:
Cake:
- 1/2 c. vegetable shortening (or coconut oil, which I prefer and use)
- 1/2 c. butter, softened
- 2 c. powdered sugar
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 4 egg yolks
- 4 egg whites, beaten
- 1 c. cold coffee
- 1 c. chocolate sprinkles (jimmies)
- 2 c. flour
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. vanilla
Coffee Glaze:
- 2 c. powdered sugar
- 1 tsp. instant coffee
- 1/4 c. milk, add more milk as necessary
Garnish:
- Extra chocolate jimmies
Directions:
Cream shortening and butter. Add powdered sugar and mix. Add egg yolks and coffee. Mix in flour, salt and baking powder. Add jimmies. Fold in beaten egg whites. Baking in 9 inch tube pan at 325-f degrees for 1 hour.
Frosting: Combine the instant coffee and milk until coffee is dissolved. Add to powdered sugar. Add more milk as needed if you would like a thinner frosting.
Enjoy!
