GLAZED CHOCOLATE ESPRESSO CAKE
This is a really great "just because" cake that's easy to make but still looks and tastes amazing enough for a special occasion. A beautifully moist chocolate cake is spiked with instant espresso powder and bathed in a coffee-flavored ganache. If you want to make the recipe even simpler, serve the glaze warm alongside wedges and let guests spoon it over their own slice.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick spray. Line the base and sides with parchment paper.
- For the cake: Cream the butter and brown sugar together in the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated before adding the next and scraping the sides of the bowl after each addition. Mix in the vanilla.
- Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl to combine. Add about half of the flour mixture to the mixer bowl and mix to combine. Scrape the bowl well, then add the buttermilk and mix on low speed to combine. Add the remaining flour mixture and mix on low speed to incorporate.
- Scrape the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread into an even layer. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Cool the cake for 10 minutes in the pan, then unlock and remove the sides of the pan and remove the parchment strips. Cool the cake completely on a cooling rack placed over a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- For the glaze: Put the chocolate and espresso powder in a medium bowl. Heat the cream to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat, then pour the cream over the chocolate. Let sit for 30 seconds, then stir until the mixture is smooth. Transfer to a measuring cup with a pour spout.
- Start by pouring glaze around the edges of the cake, then continue pouring and working towards the center of the cake until it is covered. Let the glaze set for 5 minutes, then gently transfer to a serving platter or cake stand (do not let the glaze set fully on the cooling rack). Once the glaze is set, the cake is ready to serve.

CREPE CAKE WITH ESPRESSO CHOCOLATE GLAZE
Not a cake but a large stack of crepes, this dessert is delicious but not overly sweet. The crepes are mildly chocolate-flavored, but the majority of the flavor comes from the glaze.

Steps:
- Combine all crepe ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
- Allow batter to rest in the refrigerator at least half an hour.
- In a small bowl, dissolve espresso powder in water. (If you don't dissolve the espresso powder, the glaze will be grainy).
- In a medium saucepan, melt chocolate over medium-low heat.
- Add remaining ingredients and whisk thoroughly until smooth.
- Heat until just boiling, then remove from heat and scrape glaze into a bowl. Refrigerate until batter has finished resting.
- Bring an 8" non-stick pan to medium heat (allow about 3 minutes for heat-up time).
- Spray pan with cooking spray. Pour in a few tablespoons of batter and quickly tilt the pan so that the batter covers the bottom of the pan in a very thin layer.
- Cook crepe until edges barely start to peel away from pan.
- Gently slide a long metal offset spatula under the crepe and flip it over.
- Cook crepe just another minute and slide onto a plate.
- Spread crepe with a thin layer of glaze.
- Cook another crepe, stack on top of the first, and spread with a bit of butter.
- Cook another crepe, add to the stack, and sprinkle with powdered sugar using a sifter or strainer.
- Repeat this sequence until batter runs out, leaving top crepe bare.
- Spread remaining glaze over top crepe and allow it to drip down the sides.
- Slice with a sharp knife and serve. The cake will keep in the refrigerator for at least a day.

Steps:
- Make the devil's food cake: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
- Butter the bottom and sides o f a 17 1/2 by 11 1/2-inch jelly roll pan and line the bottom with baking parchment or waxed paper. Lightly dust the sides of the pan with flour and tap out the excess.
- In the 4 1/2-quart bowl of a heavy-duty electric mixer, place the cake flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Using the paddle attachment, blend the dry ingredients on low speed, until combined.
- Add the butter, one tablespoon at a time and continue to mix until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
- At medium speed, beat in the water, scraping down the side of the bowl as necessary. Continue to beat the batter at medium speed for 2 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, scralling down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula after each addition.
- Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and, using an offset metal cake spatula, smooth it into an even layer.
- Bake the cake for 18 to 22 minutes, until the cake springs back when gently touched in the center.
- Run the tip of a knife around the edges of the pan. Invert the cake on to a wire rack. Carefully peel off the paper and cool the cake completely.

- Place the chocolate in a medium bowl: set aside.
- In a small, heavy saucepan, combine the heavy cream and espresso mixture. Bring to a gentle boil.
- Remove from heat and pour the mixture over the chocolate. Allow the mixt ure to stand for 1 minute to melt the chocolate. Gently whisk until smooth.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the ganache for 2 hours, until chilled and slightly thickened.
- Using a hand-held electric mixer, beat the ganache just until lightened in color, about 30 seconds. Do not overbeat the ganache or it will become grainy.
- Assemble the cakes: Using eight 3-inch (2 inches in height) metal ring molds, cut out 8 rounds of the devil's food cake. Place the molds on a baking sheet and place a cake round in the bottom of each mold.
- Fill a pastry bag fitted with a large plain tip with the whipped ganache. Pipe the ganache on top of each round, filling each mold to the top.
- With a small, offset metal spatula, scrape the top of each mold to the level the ganache. Place the sheet of molds in the freezer for 2 hours.
- Make the glaze: Place the chocolate in a medium bowl.
- In a small saucepan, bring the cream and corn syrup to a gentle boil.
- Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let the mixture stand for 1 minute to melt the chocolate. Gently whisk until smooth.
- Cover the surface of the glaze with plastic wrap and let it stand at room temperature until ready to glaze the cakes.
- Make the chocolate espresso fudge sauce: In a medium saucepan, stir together the cocoa, espresso powder and sugar.
- Slowly whisk in the milk and cream.
- Stir in the corn syrup. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Raise the heat to medium-high and while continuing to stir, bring the mixture to a boil.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add the chocolate. Let the mixture stand for 30 seconds to melt the chocolate. Whisk until smooth.
- Stir in the butter and vanilla.
- Unmold and glaze the cakes: Remove the molds from the freezer.
- Gently heat the side of each mold using a portable hair dryer or a hot, damp towel. Carefully slide off each mold.
- Place the cakes on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 15 minutes.
- Remove the plastic wrap from the glaze and gently whisk until smooth.
- Remove the desserts from the freezer and pour the glaze over each cake to coat it completely.
