MainRecipesBreakfast | Maple-Espresso Cake

   Maple-Espresso Cake submitted by Mom Johnson
Description
This moist cake bakes up nicely in our high altitude. Be sure to use REAL maple syrup! (I just made a simple powdered sugar frosting instead of the white chocolate.)

Directions
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 12-cup fluted tube cake pan with shortening; lightly flour. In a medium bowl, mix the flour, espresso powder, baking powder, soda and salt.

In a large bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add syrup and vanilla; beat until well-blended. Beat in the eggs one at a time until blended. On low speed, beat in the flour mixture alternately with 1 cup of the sour cream. Spoon batter into pan.

Bake for 45-50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes and remove from pan to a cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour.

In a small bowl, mix the melted chocolate and remaining 1/4 cup sour cream. Spoon or pour over cake and sprinkle with chopped coffee beans. About 16 servings.
