Triple-Chocolate Mocha Cake


Ingredients:

2 cups sugar
1 cup strong-brewed coffee
5 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup butter
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-6 ounce carton vanilla yogurt
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 1/4 cups white baking pieces
1 cup milk chocolate or semisweet chocolate pieces (optional)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. In a large saucepan combine sugar, coffee, unsweetened chocolate, and butter. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until chocolate and butter are melted; remove from heat and cool slightly.

Grease and flour a 10-inch fluted tube pan; set aside. In a small bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.

Stir yogurt, eggs, and vinegar into chocolate mixture in saucepan. Gradually add flour mixture, stirring just until combined. Stir in 3/4 cup of the white baking pieces. Pour into the prepared pan.

Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Remove from pan. Cool completely on rack.

Place the remaining 1/2 cup white baking pieces in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on 70 percent power (medium-high) for 1 minute; stir. Microwave on 70 percent power for 1-1/2 to 3 minutes more or until melted, stirring every 15 seconds. Repeat with milk chocolate or semisweet chocolate pieces, if using.

Place melted white mixture and, if using, melted chocolate into separate small plastic bags. Snip off a corner of each bag and drizzle each over the cake.
