1/2 cup unsweetened Dutch cocoa powder
1 cup Wholesome Organic Dark Brown Sugar
1/4 cup Wholesome Organic Cane Sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp baking soda

2/3 cup Fair Trade coffee, strong

3/4 cup semisweet Fair Trade chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease mini-heart or bundt pan.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, organic dark brown sugar, organic sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk until well mixed and there are no clumps.

Add the coffee, milk, oil, rum and vanilla to the flour mixture, whisking mixture just until smooth.

Scoop the batter into the prepared pan. Bake the cake in preheated oven for 30 minutes or until a tester inserted in center comes out clean.

Let the cakes cool for 15 minutes and then remove from the pan. Transfer cakes to a rack to finish cooling completely. If desired, frost cakes when cool.

Chocolate Ganache:

In a microwave safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, soy milk and rum. Microwave for 30 seconds. Remove from oven and stir mixture until smooth. If necessary, microwave mixture for another 10 seconds or so, but do not overheat (chocolate will burn).

Spread or drizzle warm ganache over cakes.
