Mike said this was even better, chilled. |
First Batter
3 eggs
1 1/2 c sugar
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 c unsalted butter, melted
2 tsp vanilla
2 c flour
Second Batter
3 eggs
1 1/2 c sugar
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 c unsalted butter, melted
2 tsp vanilla
1/2 c espresso, or strong coffee
2 c flour
Glaze & Topping
1/2 c espresso
1 T instant coffee
1 c powdered sugar
2 T corn syrup
Make first batter. Using a whisk attachment, beat eggs, sugar, and salt on medium high until mousselike. Beat in 3/4 c melted butter, and 2 teaspoons vanilla. Stir in 2 cups flour. Spread in a 9"x13" pan.
Make second batter. Do the same thing as with the first batter, only adding 1/2 c espresso with the vanilla. Stir in the 2 cups flour. Pour over the first batter.
Run a knife through to marbleize. Bake 35 minutes at 325. While cake bakes, stir together the 1/2 cup espresso and 1 tablespoon instant coffee. Stir together the 1 cup powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons corn syrup. Add enough of the espresso/coffee teaspoon by teaspoon to form a smooth glaze. While the cake is still warm, pour the remaining espresso/coffee over the cake. Drizzle powdered sugar glaze over the top. Smooth with a spatula (or your finger as I did.)
