Discover the secret behind Ina Garten's favorite chocolate cake

One of the reasons I started baking is because I love chocolate cake. In high school I wanted to score the best recipe so I spent a few months baking as many chocolate cake recipes as I could find in magazines cookbooks and newspapers. (I'm kicking myself: the Internet wasn't the same back then. Today a Google search will yield nearly 750 million chocolate cake recipes.)

To this day my favorite chocolate cake recipe is Ina Garten's famous Beatty's Chocolate Cake. It's easy to make moist and delicious. Most importantly it's packed with chocolate flavor and that's because her recipe calls for coffee. Ina calls for coffee not once but twice. Once in the cake batter and again in the chocolate glaze.
