Ingredients
- 4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cup butter, softened
- 1 ½ cup sugar
- 1 ½ cup dairy sour cream
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 3 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoon instant espresso coffee powder
- ¼ cup hot water
- ¼ cup amaretto
- 3 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 recipe Cappuccino Whipped Cream
- Chopped almonds (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 13x9x2-inch baking pan; then mix the dry ingredients in a separate bowl.
- Beat butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer for 30 seconds. Add sugar and beat until combined. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Mix in sour cream, vanilla, and gradually add flour mixture, stirring until moistened. Divide batter between two medium bowls.
- Mix cocoa powder, espresso powder, and hot water in a bowl until smooth. Stir into one batter portion.
- Pour cocoa batter into the pan evenly, tap to remove air bubbles. Spoon amaretto batter, spread, and tap again.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Then, remove and cool on a wire rack. Serve with Cappuccino Whipped Cream. Optionally, sprinkle with chopped almonds.
