A soft and delicious mocha coffee flavoured cake frosted with coffee whipped cream is oh so delicious for evening tea time musings.
I have had this mocha cake bookmarked from Pavani’s space since last year and I knew that Bake a thon would be the best way to try it. I halved the recipe and made an only single layer of it but let me tell you it was just amazing.
My girls literally went crazy over this cake and have had it all finished in a day. The flavour of espresso, when combined with chocolate, did kind of magic and the whole house was filled with fabulous aromas. It was so soothing and kind of fantastic feeling that can’t be described in words.
