Provided by Olivia

Categories     Dessert

Time 2h35m

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder (sifted)
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup buttermilk
3/4 cup strong brewed coffee (hot)
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla
3 large egg whites
1 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups unsalted butter (room temperature, cubed)
1 tsp vanilla
1 Tbsp instant espresso powder (dissolved in 1 tsp hot water, cooled)
3 oz dark chocolate (chopped, melted, and cooled)
3 oz dark chocolate
3 oz heavy whipping cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F, grease three 6" round baking pans and dust with cocoa powder. Line bottoms with parchment.
  • Place all dry ingredients into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Stir to combine.
  • In a medium bowl whisk all wet ingredients (pour coffee in slowly as not to cook the eggs if very hot).
  • Add wet ingredients to dry and mix on medium for 2-3 mins. Batter will be very thin.
  • Pour evenly into prepared pans. I used a kitchen scale to ensure the batter is evenly distributed.
  • Bake until a cake tester comes out mostly clean. A total of 30-35mins.
  • Place egg whites and sugar into the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk until combined.*
  • Place bowl over a pot with 1-2" of simmering water and stir constantly with a whisk until the mixture is hot and no longer grainy to the touch or reads 160F on a candy thermometer (about 3mins).
  • Place bowl on your stand mixer and whisk on med-high until the meringue is stiff and cooled (the bowl is no longer warm to the touch (approx. 5-10mins))
  • Switch to paddle attachment (optional). Slowly add cubed butter and mix until smooth.
  • Add vanilla, melted chocolate, and espresso powder. Whip until smooth.**
  • Finely chop chocolate and place into a bowl. Bring cream just barely to a simmer and pour over chopped chocolate. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand 2 mins. Stir gently with a spatula until combined and smooth. Allow to cool and thicken slightly before using on cake.***
  • Place one layer of cake on a cake stand or serving plate. Top with approximately 2/3 cup of frosting and spread evenly. Repeat with remaining layers and apply a thin coat of frosting all over the cake. Chill for 20mins.
  • Frost and smooth the sides. Chill for 20mins.
  • Using a small spoon, place dollops of ganache around the top edges of the cooled cake, allowing some to drip down. Fill in the top of the cake with more ganache and spread evenly with an offset spatula.

MOCHA CAKE

Super moist chocolate coffee mocha cake recipe, topped with mocha cream cheese frosting. Recipe includes layer, Bundt, and mini cake options.

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 23

Butter (for greasing the pan)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour (plus 2 tablespoons)
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (plus 2 tablespoons, plus extra for the pan)
2 teaspoons espresso powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup low fat buttermilk
1/4 cup coconut oil (melted and cooloed)
1 large egg (at room temperature)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup freshly brewed hot coffee
4 ounces reduced fat cream cheese (at room temperature)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter (at room temperature)
1 tablespoon brewed coffee (at room temperature or cold)
1 teaspoon espresso powder
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
Chopped chocolate covered espresso beans (for decorating)

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!

LIGHT & FLUFFY CHOCOLATE MOCHA CAKE



Light & fluffy chocolate mocha cake image

Have your cake and eat it, with this beautifully decadent low-fat chocolate cake

Provided by Mary Cadogan

Categories     Afternoon tea, Treat

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 13

softened butter , for greasing
3 large eggs
85g caster sugar
70g plain flour
1 tbsp cornflour
2 tbsp cocoa
½ tsp baking powder
25g dark chocolate , chopped (don't use 75% chocolate, or the icing will be bitter)
1 tbsp strong black coffee
100g light soft cheese
100g 0% Greek yogurt
2 tbsp icing sugar
15g dark chocolate , chopped

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Lightly butter and line the bases of 2 x 18cm sandwich tins with baking paper. Whisk the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 mins with a tabletop mixer or 10 mins using an electric hand whisk. The mixture will have increased greatly in volume and be thick enough to leave a trail on the surface when the whisk blades are lifted.
  • Sift the flour, cornflour, cocoa and baking powder over the surface and fold in gently using a large metal spoon. Divide between the tins, gently spreading the mixture to the edges, then bake for 15-20 mins until the cakes are well risen, have begun to shrink away from the sides of the tins and spring back when gently pressed. Leave to cool in the tins for 5 mins, then turn out onto a rack.
  • To decorate, microwave the chocolate and coffee together on Medium for 20-30 secs until the chocolate has melted. Gently stir until smooth, then cool slightly. Beat the soft cheese with the yogurt and icing sugar until smooth, then spoon half the mixture into a small bowl stir in the melted chocolate and set aside. Place one cake on a serving plate and spread with the yogurt mixture. Cover with the other cake, then spread the chocolate yogurt mixture over the top.
  • To finish, microwave the 15g chocolate on Medium for about 20 secs until melted. Stir gently until smooth, then drizzle all over the cake.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, ensure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will make the baking process smoother and more enjoyable.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste and texture of your mocha cake. Use fresh butter, eggs, and milk, and choose a good quality cocoa powder.

  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help the cake rise evenly and prevent it from becoming dense.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from becoming runny.
  • Garnish the cake with your favorite toppings: You can use chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or even fresh berries to garnish your mocha cake.
