Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking

Time 3h5m

Yield Makes 4 cups each (enough for one 8-inch layer cake)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons instant espresso powder
2 tablespoons hot water
4 large egg whites, room temperature
1 1/4 cups sugar
3 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature, cut into small pieces
5 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped, melted and cooled
2 1/2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
2 1/2 teaspoons hot water
2 large eggs, plus 2 large egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 vanilla bean, split and scraped, pod reserved for another use
1/4 cup plus 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
Salt
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 1/2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Make the mocha buttercream: Combine espresso powder and hot water in a small bowl; stir until espresso dissolves. Heat egg whites and sugar in a heatproof bowl of a mixer set over a pan of simmering water, whisking until whites are warm to the touch and sugar dissolves, 2 to 3 minutes. (Mixture should feel smooth when rubbed between 2 fingers.) Whisk egg-white mixture with a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form and mixture cools completely, about 10 minutes.
  • Reduce speed to medium-low. Add butter, a few tablespoons at a time, whisking well after each addition. Switch to the paddle attachment, and reduce speed to low. Beat in espresso mixture and melted chocolate until smooth, then beat to reduce air bubbles, 3 to 5 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap, and let stand at room temperature until ready to use.
  • Make the mocha pastry cream: Prepare an ice-water bath. Combine espresso powder and hot water in a small bowl; stir until espresso dissolves. Whisk eggs, egg yolks, and 1/4 cup sugar in medium bowl.
  • Bring remaining 1/4 cup sugar, the milk, vanilla seeds, cornstarch, and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, whisking constantly. Remove from heat, and gradually whisk one-third of hot-milk mixture into egg mixture. Whisk entire mixture back into saucepan. Raise heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Cook, continuing to whisk, until mixture is thick enough to hold its shape when lifted with a spoon, about 3 minutes.
  • Remove from heat. Whisk in butter, 1 piece at a time. Whisk in espresso mixture and chopped chocolate until smooth. Strain mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl. Cover with parchment or plastic wrap, pressing it directly on surface to prevent a skin from forming. Transfer to ice-water bath; let stand until cooled, about 30 minutes. Refrigerate until chilled and firm, at least 2 hours.

Categories     Dessert

Time 4h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ chocolate fudge cake mix
1 1/4 cups water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons coffee-flavored liqueur or cold brewed coffee
4 eggs
3/4 cup whipping cream
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/3 cup coffee-flavored liqueur or cold brewed coffee
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (6 oz)
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup whipping cream
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup Dutch processed unsweetened baking cocoa
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Grease and lightly flour bottoms and sides of two 8- or 9-inch round cake pans. In large bowl, beat cake mix, water, oil, 2 tablespoons liqueur and the eggs with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour into pans.
  • Bake 8-inch pans 34 to 40 minutes, 9-inch pans 31 to 37 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Run knife around sides of pans to loosen cakes; remove from pans to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Refrigerate layers 45 minutes for easier handling.
  • Meanwhile, to make mousse, in 2-quart saucepan, mix 1/4 cup of the whipping cream, the granulated sugar and 1/3 cup liqueur. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved and mixture simmers; remove from heat. Stir in chocolate chips with whisk until chips are melted. Stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla. Pour into large bowl; cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
  • In chilled medium bowl, beat remaining 1/2 cup whipping cream on high speed just until soft peaks form. Fold whipped cream into chocolate mixture. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • In another chilled medium bowl, beat topping ingredients on high speed until soft peaks form.
  • Trim off rounded top of one cake layer. Cut each cake layer horizontally to make 2 layers. (To cut, mark side of cake with toothpicks and cut with long, thin knife.) Place 1 layer, cut side up, on serving plate; spread with one-third of the mousse. Repeat with second and third layers. Top with fourth layer, cut side down. Spread topping over side and top of cake. Cover; refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving. Store covered in refrigerator.

Categories     Desserts     Cakes     Chocolate Cake Recipes

Time 2h35m

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups white sugar
6 tablespoons butter
2 eggs
2 cups boiling water, divided
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ cups chocolate chips
¾ cup white sugar
6 tablespoons hot water
4 teaspoons instant coffee granules
3 ¾ cups whipping cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and line two 9-inch cake pans with parchment paper.
  • Beat sugar and butter for cake together in a bowl with an electric mixer until creamy; add eggs and beat until pale in color.
  • Mix 1 cup boiling water and cocoa powder together in a separate bowl. Mix into the sugar mixture. Combine baking soda with remaining boiling water and add to the batter. Mix in flour and baking powder until just combined. Pour evenly into the prepared pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes in the pans; run a knife around the edges of the cakes and transfer onto wire racks to cool completely.
  • While cakes cool, prepare filling. Combine chocolate chips, sugar, hot water, and coffee granules in a small saucepan. Stir over low heat until sugar is dissolved and mixture is smooth. Cool completely.
  • Whip cream until it starts to thicken; add cooled chocolate mixture and whip until stiff.
  • Split each cooled cake layer in two with a knife. Divide filling into 4 equal portions. Spread 1/4 of the filling on the first cake layer, top with another layer, and repeat until you've frosted the top layer. Chill at least 1 hour for best results.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality coffee: The flavor of your mocha filling will be greatly influenced by the quality of the coffee you use. Choose a dark roast coffee with a rich, chocolatey flavor.
  • Brew your coffee strong: This will ensure that your filling has a bold coffee flavor. If you're using instant coffee, use 1 tablespoon of coffee for every 1/4 cup of water.
  • Use unsweetened cocoa powder: This will prevent your filling from being too sweet. If you only have sweetened cocoa powder, reduce the amount of sugar you add to the filling.
  • Don't overcook the filling: Overcooking will cause the filling to become thick and rubbery. Cook the filling just until it has thickened and coats the back of a spoon.
  • Let the filling cool completely before using it: This will help it to set properly. You can speed up the cooling process by placing the filling in the refrigerator or freezer for a few minutes.

Conclusion:

With its rich, chocolatey flavor and creamy texture, mocha filling is a delicious and versatile addition to any cake. Whether you're making a simple layer cake or a more elaborate dessert, mocha filling is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a special filling for your cake, give mocha filling a try. You won't be disappointed!
