We both love chocolate and coffee and I had come across a 'Mocha cake' recipe on-line so I decided to give it a go but slightly modify it to suit my mam =)
Here's the recipe if you fancy giving it a go...
Cake:
175g Butter
175g Sugar
150g Flour
25g Cocoa powder
1 Tbsp Boiling water & 1 Tsp Coffee mixed
3 Eggs
My oven is quite hot so I backed at 180 degrees for 20 mins
Icing:
1 Tbsp cocoa powder
1 Tbsp Boiling water & 1 Tsp coffee mixed
Icing sugar
Butter
Tiny bit of milk
I didn't really have a set amount of ingredients for my icing sugar i just plodded on and added ingredients till i got the texture i wanted. (Add more milk if too stiff a mixture and add more icing sugar if its too wet)
Method:
- Cream together the butter & sugar
- Add the eggs and coffee
- Sieve in the flour and the cocoa powder
- Fill cake tin (i used a tin with a pop out bottom)
- Bake! 20mins at 180 degrees
- Once the cake has cooled pop it out the tin
- Slice the cake in half so you have 2 circles
- Fill with half the icing
- Place the cut of slice back on and spread the top with icing
- I then added circles of malteasers
- Then I added crushed up flakes (both mams favs)
I was really chuffed with how yummy it looked and even more pleased when I tasted it! Definitely a repeat bake!
