Best 5 Cappuccino Cake With Mocha Frosting Recipes

MOCHA CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and lightly dust with cocoa powder a 6-cup bundt pan or an 8-inch x 2-inch round cake pan, tapping out the excess. If using a round cake pan, line the bottom with parchment paper, then butter and dust with cocoa again.
• Into the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a large mixing bowl, briskly whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat pastry flour, sugar, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined and no lumps remain.
• In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla until well blended. With the mixer running on low speed, slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry. Then, keeping the mixer running on low, pour in the coffee and mix gently, just until combined. Scrape the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula to ensure all ingredients are blended.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean (either of the two pans will bake in this amount of time). Remove from the oven, place the pan on a wire rack, then let the cake cool in the pan for 30 minutes. Carefully invert onto a serving plate.
• Prepare the frosting: in a large mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese and butter on medium speed until light and fluffy.
• In a small bowl, stir together the coffee, espresso powder, and vanilla extract so that the espresso powder dissolves, then add the mixture to the bowl with the cream cheese and butter and beat until combined. In a separate bowl, sift together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. With the mixer on low, slowly add the powdered sugar mixture to the cream cheese. Mix until well blended. Add a little more liquid coffee or powdered sugar as needed to reach the desired consistency. Spread over the cooled cake. Sprinkle immediately with chopped chocolate covered espresso beans. Dive in!

MOCHA FROSTING

Steps:

• Stir warm milk and coffee powder in large bowl until the coffee dissolves completely.
• Whisk confectioners' sugar, melted butter, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract into the milk mixture until no clumps remain and you have a smooth frosting.

MOCHA DARK CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH CAPPUCCINO FROSTING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Grease one 9x13 or two 9" round cake pans.
• Cake: combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa.
• Add the molasses, mayonnaise, and vegetable oil. Mix well.
• While mixing, pour in the hot coffee.
• Add the vanilla and chocolate chips, stir until combined. Batter will be thinner than normal cake batters.
• Pour the batter into the pan(s). Bake for the 35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. 9x13 pans usually need to go for a few more minutes.
• If you are layering the round cakes, cool them for ten minutes on a wire rack, run a knife gently around the edges, flip pans over, rest for 10 minutes, then remove cakes from pans. Don't worry if they break apart a little bit. You can "glue" them back together with glaze and frosting!
• Allow cakes to cool completely, even overnight, before glazing/frosting.
• Espresso/Coffee Glaze:.
• In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and coffee/espresso. Stir until sugar is dissolved.
• Allow to cool to body temperature or lower.
• Cappuccino Frosting.
• Combine dry ingredients in a medium bowl.
• Combine butter and shortening in a seperate, large bowl or mixer. Beat until fluffy.
• Add vanilla to the butter/shortening mixture.
• To the butter mixture, add half of the dry ingredients, beat, then half of the espresso/coffee, beat some more, then the other half of the dry ingredients, beat again.
• Add the remaining coffee slowly, only until desired consistency is reached. For a frosted layer cake, you want it to be a bit thick, but still smooth and fluffy.
• Assembly:.
• Set up desired cake board with one of the round cakes. Brush the ckae entirely with the semi-cool coffee glaze.
• Allow the glaze about 5 minutes to set.
• Spread a generous layer of frosting on top and place the second cake.
• Glaze the second cake.
• If you have any leftover glaze, just keep brushing it on (resist the urge to sip it, if you can!).
• Frost the sides and top of the cake with remaining frosting.
• Store cake in the refrigerator until you need it, as that will set the frosting properly. Because of the shortening, it will sit out well in normal temperatures, once it's been chilled.
• Enjoy!
