DAREDEVIL'S FOOD CAKE WITH MOCHA BUTTERCREAM ICING
You can bake this cake as two layers, fill it with your favorite fruit preserves (try black cherry or raspberry), and frost it with the Mocha Buttercream Icing. Or bake it in a tube pan and top it with any icing or just a light sifting of cocoa or confectioners' sugar (like snow on mountaintops!).

Steps:
- Pan preparation:
- Generously coat the pan(s) with solid shortening, line with baking parchment or wax paper (for a tube or Bundt pan, cut a paper or foil ring), grease the liner, and dust with sifted cocoa; tap out the excess cocoa.
- Make cake:
- Position rack in center of oven. Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt and cocoa. Set aside.
- In the large bowl of an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar for 3 to 4 minutes, until very well blended. Scrape down the bowl and beater. Beat in the vanilla and eggs and scrape down the bowl and beater again.
- With the mixer on the lowest speed, alternately add the flour mixture and the buttermilk. Once the ingredients are blended together, increase the speed and whip for about 30 seconds (no longer, because at high altitudes you don't want to incorporate excess air).
- Divide the batter between the two pans or scrape it all into the tube pan. Bake 30 minutes for layers, 38 to 40 minutes for tube cake (or for the time indicated for your altitude in the chart), or until the cake top feels springy to the touch and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan(s) on a wire rack for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Run a knife between the layers and the pan sides to release them, or run the tip of a knife around the pan sides and the top of the tube to loosen the cake. Top each layer, or the tube pan, with a foil-covered cardboard cake disk or flat plate, invert, and give a sharp downward shake to release the cake. Remove the pan and peel off the parchment. Cool completely.
- Make icing:
- In a food processor or the large bowl of an electric mixer, preferably with the paddle attachment, process or beat the butter until soft. Add 2 cups of the sifted sugar and beat until smooth. Scrape down the bowl and blade or beaters. Add the remaining 4 cups sugar, plus cocoa, 5 tablespoons coffee, and vanilla, and process or beat until completely smooth and creamy. Add more sugar or coffee if necessary to bring the icing to spreading consistency. (The icing can be made a day in advance and refrigerated, covered; bring to room temperature and beat until smooth before using.)
- Fill the layers and frost with the buttercream, or dust the tube cake lightly with cocoa or confectioners' sugar (or frost as desired).
- Cooks' Note
- Quantities for the icing remain the same at all altitudes, but if you are baking the cake at high elevation, follow the adjustments below.
- If baking at 3,000 feet:
- Increase flour to 2¼ cups plus 1 tablespoon. Decrease baking soda to 1⅛ teaspoons. Increase salt to ½ teaspoon. All other quantities remain as above. Place rack in center of oven; bake at 375°F: layers for 30-35 minutes, tube cake for 30-32 minutes.
- If baking at 5,000 feet:
- Increase flour to 2⅓ cups. Decrease baking soda to 1 teaspoon. Increase salt to ½ teaspoon. Decrease granulated sugar to 1½ cups minus 1 tablespoon. Increase buttermilk to 1½ cups plus 3 tablespoons. All other quantities remain as above. Place rack in center of oven; bake at 375°F: layers for 30-35 minutes, tube cake for 35-40 minutes.
- If baking at 7,000 feet:
- Increase flour to 2⅓ cups. Decrease baking soda to 1 teaspoon. Increase salt to ½ teaspoon. Decrease granulated sugar to 1½ cups minus 2 tablespoons. Increase buttermilk to 1¾ cups. All other quantities remain as above. Place rack in lower third of oven; bake at 350°F: layers for 30-35 minutes, tube cake for 35-40 minutes.
- If baking at 10,000 feet:
- Increase flour to 2½ cups minus 1 tablespoon. Decrease baking soda to ¾ teaspoon. Increase salt to ½ teaspoon. Decrease granulated sugar to 1½ cups minus 2 tablespoon. Add one additional egg. Increase buttermilk to 1½ cups plus 3 tablespoons. All other quantities remain as above. Rack in lower third of oven; bake at 350°F: layers for 30-33 minutes, tube cake for 40-43 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 muffin pans with paper liners; set aside.
- Into a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the eggs and sugar on medium speed for 1 minute.

- With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture in 3 parts, alternating with the liquids; beat until combined after each addition, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

- Chocolate Frosting: Melt chocolate chips in a double boiler; stir occasionally until smooth, about 5 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the cocoa and boiling water. Let both the chocolate and the cocoa mixture cool to room temperature.

Steps:
- CAKE:.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Grease the bottoms of two 8- or 9-inch round cake pans, and line with parchment paper. I've also been "lazy" and used one 9x13 cake pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the four, ground chocolate, granulated sugar, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt.
- Add 1 cup of the buttermilk and 1 cup of butter.
- Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
- Add the remaining ½ cup of buttermilk, the eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Divide the batter between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 30 to 45 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean when inserted into the cake's center.
- Cool on a wire rack for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Remove cakes from the pans, discard the parchment paper, and transfer them to the wire rack to cool completely.
- FROSTING:.
- Melt the chocolate (broken into pieces) in a double boiler over hot, but not boiling, water. Stir occasionally until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Dissolve the instant coffee granules in the boiling water.
- Stir coffee mixture into the chocolate then remove from heat and set aside. NOTE: this mixture does have a tendency to seize up, but don't worry, when it's added to the rest of the frosting and mixed in, it comes out just fine.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the 2/3 cup butter until fluffy.
- Gradually add the confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- Add the melted chocolate and mix until well combined.
- Frost your cake.
- Induce chocolate nirvana!

Steps:
- In your mixer, beat the softened butter with the powdered sugar until it is creamy.
- Add in the cocoa powder, vanilla extract & coffee.
- Beat with the mixer until it's nice and fluffy (about a minute or 2)
- This makes a perfectly spreadable frosting. The nice thing about it is that you can put it in the fridge to make it a little more firm if you would like.
