*How to Make an Easy Texas Turtle Cake
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease the pan and grease it with flour or use parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine the self-rising flour with granulated sugar. Sit aside.
2. In a saucepan, mix 1 cup of butter, 1 cup of coffee, and 1/3 cup of cocoa. Bring the mixture to a boil with constant stirring. Pour in the prepared dry ingredients. Using a hand mixer, mix ingredients on medium speed until wet and dry ingredients are completely combined. Add eggs and half a cup of milk. Mix on medium speed for another minute or so, until well blended.
