Just thinking about this cake is making me crave it— it’s such a good combination. You NEED to try it, no questions asked.

It is so creamy and indulgent, you won’t believe how it practically melts in your mouth. Every bite is a little moment of happiness, and I can’t get enough of it.

Let’s get started!

Preheat oven to 350F, grease and flour a 9×13″ baking pan. In a large bowl, add the sugar with the butter and beat until smooth.

Add the eggs and beat for another minute until smooth. Whisk in the milk. Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt and mix until just combined.

Mix a tablespoon of instant coffee into 1/2 cup boiling water and then add that to the cake batter. Mix until smooth.

Transfer to the baking pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool completely.

Make the milk mixture by combining the warm milk, instant coffee, condensed milk, and heavy cream. The warm milk is a must to ensure that the coffee granules dissolve completely.
