HOW TO MAKE MOCHA CAKE ROLLS

There are three major ingredients to make to make this awesome mocha cake roll: the cake batter, the meringue and the frosting.

For the cake batter, start by making a coffee mixture. The amount of coffee depends on how strong the coffee flavor you want the cake to have. This can be made by simply mixing powdered coffee with water. To make the actual batter, first mix the dry and wet ingredients separately. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl until you form a nice thick batter.

The meringue is made by whisking egg whites and adding cream of tartar and sugar until it becomes fluffy-like clouds with stiff peaks. To check if you have achieved stiff peaks, try to flip the bowl with the meringue. If it remains intact, then you have achieved stiff peaks.

When the meringue is done, gently fold it into the batter until well-combined. Pour the batter in your square or rectangular pan. Do you believe that you can bake a cake using a deep pan? Here we show you a hack on how to bake a cake without using an oven. Preheat a pan and place a wire rack inside. Put the baking pan above the wire rack and cover it to cook.

The steps in making a mocha frosting is similar to making a buttercream frosting, but of course, we make it coffee flavoured. Whisk some butter until creamy and add some powdered sugar. Lastly, add some coffee mixture.

The last steps would be putting the frosting into the cake roll. Exciting! Simply spread the frosting into the rolled cake and roll it again to set. I cut the sides of the cake to make it look cleaner. Unleash the baker in you and design the frosting of the cake. I used a fork in making some textured streaks. Make some piped frosting if you prefer.

The cake is now ready to be served! Slice the mocha cake roll in serving pieces and enjoy!
