Servings: persons

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
3/4 cup strong brewed coffee, cold
3/4 cup coffee flavored liqueur
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup brown sugar
3 egg yolks
3 egg whites
1/4 cup white sugar
6 tablespoons butter, softened
4 cups confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
3 tablespoons coffee flavored liqueur
2 tablespoons hot brewed coffee

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. Sift together the flour, baking soda, and cocoa. Set aside.
2
Combine the coffee and coffee liqueur. Set aside. In a large bowl, cream together the shortening and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolks one at a time. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the coffee and coffee liqueur, mixing just until incorporated. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form, add 1/4 cup sugar, then continue beating until whites form stiff peaks. Gently fold egg whites into the coffee mixture.
3
Pour batter into prepared pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool 10 minutes in pans, then turn out on wire racks to cool completely before frosting.
4
For the coffee frosting: In a medium bowl, cream butter until fluffy. Beat in confectioners' sugar and cocoa. Mix in coffee liqueur and hot coffee. Beat frosting until it thickens to spreading consistency.
