When I was running Deelicious Sweets, I made desserts for The Tenderloin Room at The Chase Park Plaza. One of the desserts I made weekly for them was my Chocolate Mocha Cake. This dessert is a show stopper! You won't be disappointed with this one. If you want to pull out all of the stops for entertaining, this is your go to dessert!

Yield: 12-14 servings
Ingredients for Cake:
- 1 1/2 cups plus 1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup cocoa (preferable Dutch processed)
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

- In a mixer with a whip attachment, beat eggs and sugar until thick and lemon-colored. Beat in vegetable oil. Alternately add dry ingredients with buttermilk, scraping the bowl once or twice. Add the coffee and vanilla to form a thin batter. Divide between prepared cake pans.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cake comes out clean, about 40 - 45 minutes. Cool in pan for 15 minutes. Invert onto cooling racks, peel off paper and cool completely.
- When cool, split each cake in half with a serrated slicing knife.
- Dissolve coffee in water in a mixing bowl; cool. Add cream and brown sugar. Beat until stiff peaks form.
- Place bottom cake layer on a serving plate; top with a layer of topping. Repeat layers. Use remaining frosting to cover the cake.
- Shave chocolate and place decoratively on top of cake, sprinkle with powdered sugar.
- Store in the refrigerator.

I made this just a few days ago, but the frosting didn't exactly frost.
