1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
2 tablespoons instant espresso powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup grated bittersweet chocolate

Instructions

To make the cake, preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in batches, alternating with the buttermilk and cream. Stir in the chocolate chips, espresso powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, allspice, corn syrup, walnuts, and pecans. Stir until just combined, then pour into the prepared pan.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, sprinkle with grated bittersweet chocolate.
