3. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then on high speed for 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally.

 
4. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake as directed by box mix for your particular pan(s), doing a toothpick test for assurance. Mine came out nicely at 45 minutes.

 
5. While cake cools on a rack, place the chocolate chips and 3 tablespoons of coffee in a double boiler over low heat. Stir constantly until mixture is smooth.
