Mocha cake

Dear all,

For a friend I decided to make a mocha cake. A fairly common cake you'd think, except as someone allergic to coffee it is not a given to make. But it was a special request so I put my thinking hat on to make the best mocha cake I could think of (NOT a coffee cake. Mocha. Chocolate AND coffee!). This is the (successful) result!



A mocha cake to start with: real chocolate, real coffee and ground hazelnuts.


The nuts give a lovely structure to the cake, and added flavour of course.


The chocolate ganache was coffee infused, and I decorated the cake with roasted hazelnuts. Good stuff!

xoxo Jennifer
