Preheat oven to 350F and oil 9-inch pan.

In a large bowl add the sugar, butter, eggs, and mix for about 3 minutes or until it’s light and fluffy.

Next add the cinnamon, instant coffee granules, salt, all purpose flour and mix until well combined. Finally add chocolate chips, chopped pecans and mix.

Transfer the batter into the pan and bake for about 35-40 minutes or use a toothpick to check if it’s finished.

Allow the cake to cool for about an hour, then I took my knife and ran it around the edges of the side so it’s easier to release the cake.
