This is one of those recipes that I love, and has been on an index card,  hand written for years. I am sure I wrote it down from a cook book somewhere, but I honestly have no idea what book. Being a recipe hoarder, I use to write a lot of them down, long ago, or have ones passed down from as far back as my Great-Grandmother and back then I just didn’t know I should be writing down where they were from in order to credit them.

This is a well loved cake recipe. It is fluffy, light and unique. And all of my very best recipes start with the same ingredient. It might be in different forms, but always the same:

3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cup of sugar
1 tablespoon instant coffee
1 cup flour
1/3 cup hot water

4 cups cool whip
1/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons instant coffee
1 teaspoon vanilla

In a large bowl, whip the eggs whites, cream of tartar, and salt together until it forms soft peaks. Slowly add in 3/4 cups of sugar. Beat until it forms very soft peaks. Set aside.

In a smaller bowl, mix the egg yolks together until thick and lemon in color. Add in the remaining sugar, and beat until thick.

Fold the egg white mixture into the egg yolk mixture.

Bake for 50-60 minutes, until the cake springs back slightly.

Let cake cool completely.

Icing:
In a large bowl mix the 4 cups of Cool Whip, chocolate chips (again grated or chopped), powdered sugar, instant coffee, and vanilla. Beat for about a minute until stiff peaks form. Do not overbeat.

Once cake is cool, slice the cake in the middle to make 2 layers of cake. add some icing in the middle. Assemble the cake back together. Add icing on top, and sides if you like. Add some chocolate chips, grated or whole, to the top.

Store in the refrigerator.

    I am not a coffee drinker and this still sounds good! I usually don’t make cakes from scratch but I do have most of the ingredients. This may be a new cake for the house. I’ll try it this next week.

    That’s funny you say that about recipes being written down and not remembering where from. I have probably 1000 exactly like that!! My husband and I both seem to have collected too many for our own good 🙂

    That looks awesome!! Don’t think it would matter to me where you found it!
