Just as most people love coffee and chocolate while others love cakes, the genius recipe of Mocha cake was introduced. Mocha cake is a prepared like any other cake with eggs and flour, but take note, the taste is not comparable to any other. It is an appetizing light soft brown-colored cake filled with oozing mixture of chocolate and coffee.

 I remember the first time I went to Goldilocks, a cake shop well-known in the Philippines for producing top-notch sweets. Everything inside seemed to made me stay there longer:  the alluring sweet smell, the cute appealing cupcakes, the whole array of flavors, and the aura of the entire place itself. One of my favorite cake flavors is chocolate but then as I grew up, I became so into coffee. So, chocolate plus coffee, mocha flavor it is! Out of all the cakes, the mocha cake won my heart and I didn’t have any regrets. The fluffiness of the cake and the combination of choco-coffee is remarkable.

From that moment, I knew I have to taste that cake again. What I did next was to research how to make a Mocha Cake that tastes like the one I bought in Goldilocks. It should have the perfect copy of cake texture, flavor filling, and  ingredient measurements. It’s very convenient and less hassle to just walk to the kitchen then bake one for myself.

How to make a Mocha Cake?

If you ask me personally what I love about cakes, I can talk all day. I am a huge fan of cakes myself so I am very particular in terms of flavors and proper textures. It should have just the right amount of ingredients to achieve the perfect softness and taste. The flavor should not be overpowering as to not make the customer feel fed up with just a few bites nor too bland as if it was made with lacking ingredients.

Baking a mocha is not that hard compared to what you think. If baking a cake is not a news to you, then the only left to master is the right amount of each ingredient for the best mocha taste.

Firstly, prepare the egg white mixture and the powder mixture as well on separate containers. Make sure to sift the powder properly to ensure balance of the flavors.

As for the batter of the mocha cake, you need to combine the egg yolks, vegetable oil, evaporated milk and the solution of coffee granules and water. Stir until all are completely mixed up. Add the dry mixture and egg white mixture, portion at a time for best mixing results.

Lastly, bake it in a preheated oven. When the cake cools down, the frosting must be filled in between the two baked cakes. You can decorate it as much as you want with the leftover frosting. Serve it with a presentable manner. Enjoy!
