Categories     Food & Cooking

Time 3h5m

Yield Makes 4 cups each (enough for one 8-inch layer cake)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons instant espresso powder
2 tablespoons hot water
4 large egg whites, room temperature
1 1/4 cups sugar
3 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature, cut into small pieces
5 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped, melted and cooled
2 1/2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
2 1/2 teaspoons hot water
2 large eggs, plus 2 large egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 vanilla bean, split and scraped, pod reserved for another use
1/4 cup plus 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
Salt
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 1/2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Make the mocha buttercream: Combine espresso powder and hot water in a small bowl; stir until espresso dissolves. Heat egg whites and sugar in a heatproof bowl of a mixer set over a pan of simmering water, whisking until whites are warm to the touch and sugar dissolves, 2 to 3 minutes. (Mixture should feel smooth when rubbed between 2 fingers.) Whisk egg-white mixture with a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form and mixture cools completely, about 10 minutes.
  • Reduce speed to medium-low. Add butter, a few tablespoons at a time, whisking well after each addition. Switch to the paddle attachment, and reduce speed to low. Beat in espresso mixture and melted chocolate until smooth, then beat to reduce air bubbles, 3 to 5 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap, and let stand at room temperature until ready to use.
  • Make the mocha pastry cream: Prepare an ice-water bath. Combine espresso powder and hot water in a small bowl; stir until espresso dissolves. Whisk eggs, egg yolks, and 1/4 cup sugar in medium bowl.
  • Bring remaining 1/4 cup sugar, the milk, vanilla seeds, cornstarch, and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, whisking constantly. Remove from heat, and gradually whisk one-third of hot-milk mixture into egg mixture. Whisk entire mixture back into saucepan. Raise heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Cook, continuing to whisk, until mixture is thick enough to hold its shape when lifted with a spoon, about 3 minutes.
  • Remove from heat. Whisk in butter, 1 piece at a time. Whisk in espresso mixture and chopped chocolate until smooth. Strain mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl. Cover with parchment or plastic wrap, pressing it directly on surface to prevent a skin from forming. Transfer to ice-water bath; let stand until cooled, about 30 minutes. Refrigerate until chilled and firm, at least 2 hours.

Categories     Desserts     Cakes     Chocolate Cake Recipes

Time 2h35m

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups white sugar
6 tablespoons butter
2 eggs
2 cups boiling water, divided
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ cups chocolate chips
¾ cup white sugar
6 tablespoons hot water
4 teaspoons instant coffee granules
3 ¾ cups whipping cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and line two 9-inch cake pans with parchment paper.
  • Beat sugar and butter for cake together in a bowl with an electric mixer until creamy; add eggs and beat until pale in color.
  • Mix 1 cup boiling water and cocoa powder together in a separate bowl. Mix into the sugar mixture. Combine baking soda with remaining boiling water and add to the batter. Mix in flour and baking powder until just combined. Pour evenly into the prepared pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes in the pans; run a knife around the edges of the cakes and transfer onto wire racks to cool completely.
  • While cakes cool, prepare filling. Combine chocolate chips, sugar, hot water, and coffee granules in a small saucepan. Stir over low heat until sugar is dissolved and mixture is smooth. Cool completely.
  • Whip cream until it starts to thicken; add cooled chocolate mixture and whip until stiff.
  • Split each cooled cake layer in two with a knife. Divide filling into 4 equal portions. Spread 1/4 of the filling on the first cake layer, top with another layer, and repeat until you've frosted the top layer. Chill at least 1 hour for best results.
