CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH MOCHA FROSTING



Chocolate Cake with Mocha Frosting image

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     dessert

Time 1h45m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
3 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2/3 cup hottest tap water
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, such as Droste Cocoa Powder
1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
2/3 cup half-and-half
Mocha Frosting, recipe follows
12 ounces bittersweet chocolate, such as Lindt, 1/4-inch-chopped
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, diced, at room temperature
2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
1 tablespoon Kahlua
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

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 ICEBOX CAKE



Mocha Chocolate Icebox Cake image

Provided by Ina Garten

Time 12h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups cold heavy cream
12 ounces Italian mascarpone cheese
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup coffee liqueur, such as Kahlua
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, such as Pernigotti
1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 (8-ounce) packages chocolate chip cookies, such as Tate's Bake Shop
Shaved semisweet chocolate, for garnish

Steps:

  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine the heavy cream, mascarpone, sugar, coffee liqueur, cocoa powder, espresso powder, and vanilla. Mix on low speed to combine and then slowly raise the speed, until it forms firm peaks.
  • To assemble the cake, arrange chocolate chip cookies flat in an 8-inch springform pan, covering the bottom as much as possible. (I break some cookies to fill in the spaces.) Spread a fifth of the mocha whipped cream evenly over the cookies. Place another layer of cookies on top, lying flat and touching, followed by another fifth of the cream. Continue layering cookies and cream until there are 5 layers of each, ending with a layer of cream. Smooth the top, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight.
  • Run a small sharp knife around the outside of the cake and remove the sides of the pan. Sprinkle the top with the chocolate, cut in wedges, and serve cold.

STARBUCKS PEPPERMINT MOCHA



Starbucks Peppermint Mocha image

Very close to the real thing. This recipe is amazing. I became obsessed with the real thing but at $5 a pop I deicided that I needed to find a cheaper alternative. So I went on the search for the recipe and the right machine and I experimented and Ta Da, we have a WONDERFUL knockoff.

Provided by Nikki C.

Categories     Beverages

Time 8m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons powdered baking cocoa (I used Ghirardelli-sweet ground chocolate and cocoa powder)
3 tablespoons warm water
1 1/2 tablespoons peppermint syrup (do not use extract- you can buy a very large bottle of syrup at Starbucks for $7) or 1 1/2 tablespoons creme de menthe
4 ounces espresso (see note below on how to make if you are unfamiliar)
12 ounces steamed milk (I use Fat Free)
whipped cream
red sugar crystals

Steps:

  • Combine 3 Tbsp Baking Cocoa with 3 Tbsp warm water to make into a rich syrup. Pour into a 16 ounce mug.
  • Add espresso
  • Add Peppermint syrup.
  • Steam milk and add to remainder of cup.
  • Garnish with whipped cream and sugar crystals.
  • Note: To make espresso (for 2 servings of this recipe) for those who do not know how, follow the directions below. Don't let the thought scare you it is almost as easy as making regular american coffee- it just takes a little practice:
  • Buy a $30 machine (Mr. Coffee ECM250 is good).
  • Put water into carafe up to band and put into machine.
  • Put coffee (any kind of finely ground) into filter head and pack down well.
  • Turn on and brew until carafe fills to 4 cup line that way there is still enough water in machine to steam milk.
  • Switch to steam mode and steam milk (if you do not have a frothing pitcher a 12 oz ceramic mug will work filled half way with milk but takes 2 fill ups to make one serving of this recipe).
  • Follow recipe and enjoy!

Whisk in rum and vanilla. Transfer 1 cup warm chocolate mixture to small bowl; whisk remaining 2 ounces chocolate into mixture in bowl and set aside for topping. Cover; let stand at room temperature. Transfer remaining chocolate mixture to large bowl to use as filling; chill until cold and thick, at least 6 hours and up to 1 day.

STARBUCKS® MOCHA FRAPPUCCINO® REPLICA



Starbucks® Mocha Frappuccino® Replica image

I created this recipe myself. I wanted something that tasted like the brand-name stuff but without the steep cost! I kept the recipe simple only using coffee, milk, and sugar like the brand name does. Concentrate stays good in the refrigerator for a month.

Provided by Steve Woznicka

Categories     Drinks Recipes     Coffee Drinks Recipes     Mocha Recipes

Time P1DT1h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 cups cold water
½ pound dark roast ground coffee beans
cheesecloth
coffee filters
5 cups 1% milk
½ (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
½ cup hot tap water

Steps:

  • Mix 6 cups water and coffee in a 1/2-gallon jar (such as Ball®) until grounds are completely saturated. Steep for 24 hours at room temperature, stirring occasionally.
  • Transfer the coffee to the refrigerator and chill for 1 hour.
  • Place a small colander on top of a tall, lidded plastic container. Line colander with a 6-inch square of cheesecloth; fit a coffee filter on top.
  • Pour about 1 cup of the coffee into the colander until filter begins to clog. Lift the corners of the cheesecloth carefully; twist the cloth and filter to extract the liquid. Drain the remaining liquid 1 cup at a time, using a new coffee filter each time. Repeat the process with the grounds, filtering 1 cup at a time; squeeze out as much liquid as you can. Refrigerate the concentrate until ready to use.
  • Combine concentrate, 1% milk, and condensed milk in a 1/2-gallon jar.
  • Dissolve 3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sugar and cocoa powder together in a bowl of hot tap water. Add to the coffee-milk mixture; cover the jar and shake well.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality chocolate. A dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% is ideal.
  • If you don't have an espresso machine, you can make strong coffee using a French press or drip coffee maker.
  • If you don't have cocoa powder, you can use unsweetened chocolate melted in a double boiler.
  • For a vegan mocha, use plant-based milk and chocolate.
  • To make a skinny mocha, use low-fat milk or skim milk and sugar-free chocolate syrup.
  • To make a decadent mocha, use whole milk, whipped cream, and chocolate shavings.
  • If you like a strong coffee flavor, add an extra shot of espresso.
  • For a sweeter mocha, add an extra pump of chocolate syrup.
  • If you're feeling adventurous, try adding a flavored syrup, such as vanilla, caramel, or hazelnut.
  • To make a mocha frappe, blend the ingredients with ice until smooth.
  • To make a mocha latte, steam the milk and then layer it over the espresso and chocolate syrup.

Conclusion:

No matter how you make it, a mocha is a delicious and versatile drink that can be enjoyed hot, iced, or blended. With so many different variations to choose from, there's sure to be a mocha recipe that everyone will love.
