Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease the sides and bottom of two 9-inch pans with shortening, then dust with flour.

In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except the coffee. Mix at slow speed until blended, scraping the sides occasionally with a rubber spatula. Slowly add the coffee while mixing on low. Mix for about 1 minute, or until smooth. Do not overbeat. Place in the prepared pans.

Bake for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pans on wire racks for about 20 minutes, then invert onto racks and remove pans. Cool completely.

This recipe yields 20 servings.
