MOCHA CAKE III



Mocha Cake III image

A friend made this for our group and we have been hooked on it ever since. Try it. It's so rich, moist, and easy, you'll be hooked too! Note: I have replaced the sour cream with 16 ounces of plain yogurt, (not fat-free!), with great success. The taste is just as good to me with a lot less fat. However, do not use low-fat or fat-free sour cream, as it will NOT turn out well!

TRIPLE CHOCOLATE MOCHA CAKE



Triple Chocolate Mocha Cake image

This is just as easy as any cake from a box and much more flavourful. I needed to use up some pantry ingredients and this recipe is what I came up with. The Beau bought some Hershey's SPECIAL DARK Cocoa by mistake, he thought it was hot cocoa mix, otherwise it might not have been a product I would have ever purchased. If you don't have it you could probably substitute another dutch-processed cocoa but your results might not be quite the same as mine. I made cupcakes so I could portion them out to freeze some and they were rich enough to not really need frosting but please frost as you like. They came out as black as night, my co-workers asked what food colouring I added to get them like that, to which I happily replied "None!". The Beau said they were "Too chocolatey and too moist" so count yourself warned, lol. The recipe made 24 cupcakes and would make two 8" round or square cakes, or a 9x13. Adjust your time slightly according to which units you're baking.

Time 55m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup sugar
1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
1 3/4 cups flour
1 cup hershey's special dark cocoa, plus extra
hershey's special dark cocoa, for dusting pans
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup chocolate milk
3 tablespoons hot fudge topping (don't heat, just measure cold)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 cup water, very hot
3 teaspoons instant espresso powder (heaping teaspoons-I use Medaglia D'Oro brand-you could use any brand)

Steps:

  • Butter 2 8" cake pans or muffin pans, etc, and coat evenly with cocoa powder (I began using my new silicone pans with this recipe and did not need to pre-treat my pans with butter or cocoa).
  • In large bowl mix together well first 8 ingredients with a wire whisk.
  • Add eggs, chocolate milk, hot fudge topping, butter and vanilla; beat on medium for 2 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, mix together hot water and instant espresso, stirring well to dissolve.
  • Add espresso carefully to cake mix and beat until mixed well, batter will seem thin.
  • Pour evenly into the prepared pans.
  • Bake in pre-heated oven at 350º for about 40 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean; it's a dense cake and won't rise as high as you might expect.
  • Cool in pans 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.
  • Frost or dust with powdered sugar as desired.

Tips

  • To make the perfect mocha cake, you need to use high-quality ingredients. This means using real butter, not margarine, and using fresh eggs.
  • Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the cake to rise evenly.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help the cake to rise evenly and prevent it from sinking in the middle.
  • Don't overbake the cake. Overbaking can make the cake dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • For a richer mocha flavor, use a dark chocolate ganache or frosting.
  • To make the cake ahead of time, bake it and let it cool completely. Then, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. When you're ready to serve, thaw the cake overnight in the refrigerator.

Conclusion

Mocha cake is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor and creamy coffee frosting, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So, next time you're looking for a special dessert, give mocha cake a try. You won't be disappointed.
