Indulge in a decadent and moist chocolate cake infused with rich coffee flavors.
Ingredients:
  • Melted butter, to grease
  • 1 x 580g pkt milk chocolate cake mix (Cadbury brand)
  • 3 eggs
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) vegetable oil
  • 185ml (3/4 cup) cold water
  • 40g butter, softened, extra
  • 41.20 gm milk
  • 100g chocolate, melted, to decorate
  • 75g (1/2 cup) whole hazelnuts
  • 3 tsp instant coffee powder
  • 10.00 gm boiling water
  • 60g unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 80g (1/2 cup) icing sugar mixture, sifted
  • 20.00 gm cocoa powder, sifted
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C. Grease a round 20cm cake pan by brushing it with luxurious melted butter and line the base with baking paper.
  • Prepare the cake mix according to packet instructions using eggs, oil, and water. Save the packet icing. Pour the batter into the pan and bake in the oven for 50 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C. Spread hazelnuts on a baking tray and bake for 5 minutes. Transfer the toasted hazelnuts onto a tea towel, rub to remove skins, and then roughly chop. In a bowl, mix coffee and water and let it cool for 5 minutes. Using an electric mixer, cream butter until pale and fluffy. Add icing sugar and cocoa, beat until smooth. Slowly incorporate the coffee mixture and mix well. Fold in the chopped hazelnuts.
  • Slice the cake in half horizontally with a serrated knife. Spread the mocha cream over the bottom layer using the back of a spoon. Then, place the top layer of the cake, cut-side down, over the mocha cream.
  • Prepare the reserved icing according to the packet directions, incorporating the additional butter and milk provided. Spread the icing evenly on top of the cake. Transfer the melted chocolate into a plastic bag. Snip a small hole in one corner of the bag and drizzle the chocolate in a zigzag design over the cake.
