absolutely irresistible.

Mocha Coffee Cake - My Baking Addiction http://www.mybakingaddiction.com/mocha-coffee-cake/

If you’ve ever taken a few minutes to look at my recipe index,


you know that my cake section is kind of lacking. It’s not that
I don’t love cake because trust me, I love to eat cake, I just
don’t always love to make cake.

I have a few of my favorites like this recipe for The Best


Chocolate Cake and this Pumpkin Crunch Cake that we make
again and again. But every so often, I get the urge to step
outside of my comfort zone and make something completely
different. And that’s exactly what happened with this Mocha
Coffee Cake.

I came across this recipe last year on Epicurious and it


immediately flew to the top of my must-bake list. In fact, I’ve
made it several times since, and it never disappoints. But it
definitely takes a little effort.

Reading through the ingredient list might make you shy


away at first glance, but I promise this Mocha Coffee Cake
recipe is pretty simple once you break the steps down. It’s
the perfect cake to bake up on a lazy fall afternoon when you
have nowhere to be except the kitchen.

Mocha Coffee Cake starts with a delicious batter that


includes cinnamon, cardamon and strong brewed coffee.
The batter is layered with a scrumptious chocolate swirl and
topped with an espresso crumb topping. And if the mention
of the crumb topping doesn’t have you scanning your pantry
for the list of ingredients, how about the Kahlua ganache
that gets drizzled over the cake once it’s cooled?

I mean, this is one serious cake trifecta, and you’re going to


love every single bite. Especially if you’re a chocolate and
coffee fan. This cake, people. THIS CAKE.

This looks great. I also love looking at the recipes on
Epicurious and have tried several. I have not seen this one
and I will have to try it. I bake for 2 support groups and I
bring in “experimental” recipes when I volunteer at a
Hospice and this one will be going with me to Hospice on
Wednesday. (If it makes it out the door)
Thanks for another great recipe!!

Hi, we don’t have all purpose flour where I live. Is it possible
to substitute plain flour or self raising flour, and if so in what
quantities please? Thanks!

JAMIE — OCTOBER 5TH, 2016 at 1:31 PM


Hi, Dilani! Plain flour will be perfect, and you
can use the same amount as the recipe calls
for. I hope you enjoy it!
