This Chocolate Swirl espresso Cake is wet, wealthy, and so decadent! perfect for so many occasions!

I'm a cake lover, a espresso lover, and notably a chocolate lover! So whilst my pals over at Lindt Chocolate requested me to create a chocolate espresso cake proposing their awesome line of excellence darkish chocolate bars.

I obviously stated “yes” in a heartbeat. And if you’re a fellow chocoholic, I recognise you’re just as enthusiastic about this recipe as i'm! because it has over 2 cups of wealthy, creamy, flavorful chocolate swirled in it. And the satisfactory component?

So while this Chocolate Swirl coffee Cake doesn’t have any espresso in it, it’s incredibly pleasurable whilst loved with coffee! And, in case you’re feeling more decadent… a scoop of ice cream on top doesn’t harm.
