Most of the ingredients for this easy cake are grocery store staples, but there are two ingredients that some people may be less familiar with. Cocoa and instant espresso granules manufactured in the Netherlands. Dutch-processed cocoa gives the cake a rich chocolate flavor, but you can also use regular cocoa powder. Instant espresso is also added to deepen the chocolate flavor and is usually found in the coffee and tea section of most major grocery stores.
