Chocolate Coffee Cake

Name: Chocolate Coffee Cake
Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (I used whole wheat pastry flour, but feel free to experiment with using other whole grain flours as desired); 3/4 – 1 cup natural sweetener (we use rapadura or sucanat, which are delicious!); 1/2 cup butter or coconut oil (or combination of both), in its solid state; 1-2 Tbsp cocoa powder (as desired, we use 2 Tbsp); 3/4 tsp baking soda; 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon; 1/4 tsp nutmeg; 1/2 tsp baking powder; dash of salt; dash of cloves; 1/2 cup nuts (we used candied pecans for the top!), if desired; 1 cup cultured buttermilk, kefir, whey, yogurt (or your preferred acid medium for soaking)
