Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350F or 180C and line a styrofoam cake pan with parchment paper
- In a bowl, combine Chocolate cake mix with Vanilla Extract, Orange Extract, Ground Coffee Beans, Brown Sugar, Orange Zest, Orange Juice, Yogurt, Vegetable Oil, and Buttermilk. Mix everything with a spatula to make a smooth Cake batter.
- Pour this into a cake pan. Bake for 30 minutes at 350F or 180 C or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.Once the Chocolate cake is baked, get it out of the oven and cool it down.
- Melt Dark Chocolate with butter in a double boiler. Keep stirring at regular intervals so that the chocolate doesn't get burned. Once the chocolate is smooth and lump-free, get it off in a separate bowl.Combine the melted dark chocolate with whipped cream, using a handheld mixer or stand mixer. Beat until you get a smooth and creamy Chocolate ganache ready. Now slather it over the baked and cooled cake. Even it out using an offset spatula.
- For Orange whipped cream frosting, combine Whipping cream with 1 drop of orange gel food color, using a handheld mixer or stand mixer, until you get stiff peaks. Take it up in a piping bag, snip the edge and do the frosting over the cake. If you want, you can even add a nozzle into your piping bag and do the frosting over your chocolate cake.
- Top the cake with orange rinds. Orange Rinds are basically, the skin of Orange cut into thin juliennes. This will give an edge to your Cake decoration. To make Orange Rinds, peel an orange, and then chop up thin slices of the skin. It should be long and it should be thin. Keep an orange slice in the center of your Cake. Top that with melted chocolate and do some frosting on it. Sprinkle some Orange zest and ground coffee beans over your Chocolate Orange Mocha Cake and then cut into slices and serve!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
- In large bowl, mix all of the dry ingredients
- Add the wet ingredients and mix well (I use a hand whisker - this is easy to mix together and doesn't need electric beaters). DO NOT ADD the CHOCOLATE CHIPS YET
- Coat a 10 inch cast iron skillet (or 9x9 baking dish) lightly with oil
- Pour the batter into your skillet or baking dish
- Top with the chocolate chips and bake 28-30 minutes or until done (the center will be a little softer than the edges; that's ok, but you don't want it liquidy!)
- (Optional) Add sprinkles that fit your occasion, let cool some (or completely) and serve. It's really good served warm!
- Enjoy!

CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH MOCHA FROSTING
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking pan. Line with parchment paper, then grease and flour the pan.
- Place the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium speed for 4 to 5 minutes, until light and fluffy, scraping down the bowl. On medium speed, add the vanilla, then beat in the eggs, one at a time, until incorporated and the batter is smooth.
- Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl. In another bowl or a liquid measuring cup, whisk together the hot water, cocoa powder, and espresso powder until smooth. Add the half-and-half and whisk until smooth. With the mixer on low, add the flour and chocolate mixtures alternately in thirds, starting and ending with the flour. With a rubber spatula, scrape down the bowl to be sure the batter is well mixed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and bake for 25 to 35 minutes, until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely in the pan. Turn out onto a flat platter or board and frost the top with the Mocha Frosting. Cut in squares and serve.
- Place the chocolate, butter, and espresso powder in a bowl. Heat the cream to simmer and pour it over the chocolate mixture, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is melted. (If the chocolate isn't melted, microwave the mixture for 15 seconds.) Stir in the Kahlua and vanilla and stir until the mixture is smooth. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes only, until cool but not cold.
- Scrape down the bowl and beat the frosting with a handheld mixer on high speed for 15 to 20 seconds only, until the mixture forms soft peaks. (If you overbeat it, it will curdle!) Spread on the cake immediately with a metal spatula.

MOCHA CHOCOLATE CHIP CAKE
Alice's Tea Cup, which is owned by the sisters Haley Fox and Lauren Fox, is known for its scones, but the chainlet of teahouses in New York also makes pastries, cakes and other treats. This recipe is an adaptation of a chocolate chip cake with mocha frosting that originated with the Fox sisters' mother. The cake has a tender crumb, and the frosting is silky and rich.

Steps:
- Make the cake: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour two 8-inch cake pans, and line the bottoms with rounds of parchment paper cut to fit.

- Pour the batter into the pans and bake until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes before removing cakes from pans to a rack to cool completely. If the cakes are domed, use a long, serrated knife to level the tops.
