MOCHA CAKE



Mocha Cake image

A rich and moist cake flavored with chocolate and coffee.

Provided by John Kanell

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 22

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 ⅔ cups granulated sugar
3 tbsp cocoa powder (nice quality)
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tbsp baking soda
1 ½ tsp baking powder
½ cup sour cream
1/2 cup buttermilk
3 eggs (large)
1 1/4 cups coffee (hot, strong)
1/2 cup water
¾ cup veggie oil
1 lb butter (unsalted)
2 lb confectioners sugar
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tbsp espresso powder
1 tbsp vanilla
3 tbsp heavy cream
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup dark chocolate (chopped)
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chocolate covered espresso beans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Butter and flour three 9-inch cake pans. I highly recommend using cake strips for a more even bake.
  • Sift together the dry ingredients (including the sugar) into the bowl of a stand mixer and whisk to combine.
  • Add the wet ingredients into a large bowl and whisk together.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients.
  • Whisk to combine then mix on level 2 for two minutes.
  • Distribute batter evenly to the three pans and bake for about 35-40 minutes at 350F or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. I recommend rotating the pans halfway through the bake.
  • Allow time to cool for 5 minutes, then invert onto wire racks to cool fully.
  • Sift the confectioners' sugar, salt, cocoa and espresso powder into a bowl.
  • Whip the butter for about 5 minutes using a paddle attachment (in a standing mixer).
  • Beat in the sugar mixture slowly.
  • Add vanilla and drizzle in the cream while beating until desired consistency is reached. If the you want the buttercream to have a stronger espresso taste, add as much as you would like!
  • Warm the cream and pour over the chocolate. Set aside for a few minutes and whisk together. If there's a few bits of unmelted chocolate just microwave it for 10 seconds on half power and whisk again.
  • Pipe buttercream on the first layer, add a swirl of the ganache then a sprinkle of chopped espresso beans.
  • Add the second layer on and repeat the process.
  • Add third layer on and cover cake with buttercream. Smooth using an offset spatula.
  • Drizzle ganache on top of cake, smooth the top and allow to set.
  • Pipe dollops of buttercream on the edge using a large closed star tip.
  • Top each dollop with a chocolate covered espresso bean.

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!

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly affect the taste of your cake. Use the best cocoa powder, coffee, and other ingredients you can find.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for baking a mocha cake is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If the oven is too hot, the cake will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked. If the oven is too cool, the cake will take too long to bake and will be dry.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from melting.

Conclusion:

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