Kathy's Chocolate Party Cake
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°.
Step 2
Combine water and espresso in a bowl. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour and next 5 ingredients (flour through salt) in a large bowl. Combine espresso mixture, buttermilk, egg substitute, oil, and vanilla; add to sugar mixture, beating at medium speed of a mixer until well-blended (batter will be thin).
Step 3
Pour batter into 2 (9-inch) round cake pans coated with baking spray. Bake at 350° for 45 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool layers in pans 10 minutes, and remove from pans. Cool layers completely on wire racks.
Step 4
Place 1 cake layer on a plate; spread with 1 cup whipped topping, and top with other cake layer. Spread remaining whipped topping over top of cake. Arrange strawberries on top of cake. Store cake loosely covered in refrigerator.

I reduced cooking time to 20-25 minutes, however, this is a wonderful cake that I always get compliments on!

My kids have loved this recipe since it first came out in Cooking Light years ago- it was the only cake they wanted in fact! Delicious and EASY!

This recipe is awesome! I did add one egg and an egg white as suggested previously instead of egg substitute and also frosted the cake with the Chocolate Cream Cream Frosting recipe from CL. For decoration I topped the cake with strawberries. I made it for my sister's birthday...Everyone raved about it!
