Preparation

Step 1

Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter and flour a 10-inch nonstick springform pan. Set aside.
Whisk the cake flour, cocoa, baking soda, sugar, and salt together in a large bowl and set aside. Stir the coffee, oil, vanilla, and vinegar together and whisk into the flour mixture just until smooth.
Stir the cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, coriander, black pepper, vanilla extract, nuts, raisins, candied orange peel, and bittersweet chocolate into the batter.
Pour into the prepared springform pan. Bake until a wooden skewer inserted in the center comes out clean — about 40 minutes. Cool completely, in the pan, on a wire rack. Unmold cake and dust top with cocoa before serving.
