all-purpose flour
2 cups (sifted)
baking soda
1 teaspoon
baking powder
1 teaspoon
salt
1/4 teaspoon

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch square cake pan generously with butter, line it with foil for easy removal, and butter the foil as well.
2
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream and cooled strong brewed coffee until smooth and creamy.
4
Using an electric mixer, cream the softened unsalted butter and sugar together on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
5
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
6
With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the dry flour mixture in thirds, alternating with the sour cream mixture. Start and end with the flour mixture, mixing until just combined and scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
7
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Generously sprinkle the crumbled gingersnap cookies evenly atop the batter.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9
Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 15 minutes. Carefully lift the cake out of the pan using the foil, and let it cool completely on the wire rack.

Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy with your favorite beverage!
