Can I use coffee instead of cocoa powder for chocolate cake?

[Toffee]

Yo, peeps! Has anyone tried swapping out cocoa powder for coffee in a chocolate cake recipe? Wondering if that swap would work or if I'd end up with a kitchen disaster. I'm aiming for a rich, mocha vibe without heading out to buy cocoa. Thoughts or recipes? Would appreciate any tips or tricks y'all might have!

Coffee in chocolate cake? It's an intriguing idea! Though coffee can enhance chocolate's richness, I think cocoa powder is essential for that unmistakable chocolate flavor in a chocolate cake. While you might get a hint of coffee flavor, it might not fully replace cocoa powder's role. If you're up for experimenting, why not try incorporating both for a unique twist? Happy baking!
