2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups water
2 tablespoons instant coffee granules
3 (2-ounce) bars NESTLE® Unsweetened Baking Chocolate, broken into pieces
2 cups sugar
1 cup LAND O LAKES® Butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 eggs
Glaze Ingredients:

1 (2-ounce) bar NESTLE® Unsweetened Baking Chocolate, broken into pieces

1 1/2 cups sifted powdered sugar

Recipe



Heat oven to 325°F. Grease 10-inch Bundt® pan. Set aside.

Combine flour, baking powder and baking soda in small bowl. Set aside.

Bring water and coffee granules to boil in small saucepan; remove from heat. Add 3 bars (6 ounces) baking chocolate; stir until smooth.

Combine sugar, butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla in large mixer bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy (1 to 2 minutes). Increase speed to high. Add eggs; beat 5 minutes. Reduce speed to low; gradually add flour mixture alternately with chocolate mixture until well mixed (2 to 3 minutes). Pour into prepared pan.

Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, melt 1 bar (2 ounces) baking chocolate and 3 tablespoons butter in small heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth (1 to 2 minutes). Remove from heat. Stir in powdered sugar alternately with water until desired glazing consistency. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla. Drizzle cooled cake with glaze; sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired.
