I have a bride who wants a chocolate cake with a coffee flavoring in it.

Now, I HATE coffee and therefore I have never make this type of cake before, but I am looking for a good recipe to use.

Please, someone point me in the right direction!

Thanks so much!

I think you can accomplish the coffee taste by substituting your liquid for coffee in your chocolate cake batter. Also for a filling you can mix in an almaretto other completing coffee flavoring... caramel would be nice too.

HTH,

I believe I got it from allrecipes.com where I've found all kinds of great recipes. Hope this helps you out.

Mocha Dream Cake

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups hot water
1 tablespoon NESCAFÉ TASTER'S CHOICE 100% Pure Instant Coffee Granules
1 cup NESTLÉ COFFEE-MATE Powdered Coffee Creamer
2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/3 cups (8 oz.) NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Premier White Morsels
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 2/3 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
2/3 cup (5 fl. Oz. Can) NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Evaporated Milk
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Baking Cocoa
2/3 cup NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Premier White Morsels
1/3 cup butter or margarine
1 tablespoon NESCAFÉ TASTER'S CHOICE 100% Pure Instant Coffee Granules
1 1/2 teaspoons water
2 pkgs. (3 oz. Each) cream cheese, softened
4 to 4 1/2 cups powdered sugar



PREHEAT oven to 350° F. Grease and flour two 9-inch-round cake pans.

FOR CAKE:
COMBINE water and Tasters Choice in medium bowl. Stir in Coffee-mate with wire whisk. Combine 1 2/3 cups flour and baking soda in another medium bowl. Microwave 1 1/3 cups morsels and vegetable oil in large, uncovered, microwave-safe bowl on MEDIUM-HIGH (70%) power for 1 minute; STIR. Morsels may retain some of their shape. If necessary, microwave at additional 10- to 15-second intervals, stirring just until melted. Add coffee mixture, sugar, eggs, evaporated milk, vinegar and vanilla extract to melted morsels; mix with wire whisk. Gradually beat in flour mixture until combined. (Batter will be thin.) Pour 3 1/4 cups batter into medium bowl; stir in remaining flour. Pour into prepared pans.

BLEND cocoa into remaining batter with wire whisk until blended. Slowly pour even amounts of cocoa batter into the center of each pan. (Cocoa batter will spread evenly outward from center.)

BAKE for 40 to 45 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks for 10 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely. Frost cake with frosting between layers and on top and side of cake.

FOR FROSTING:
MICROWAVE 2/3 cup morsels and butter in large, uncovered, microwave-safe bowl on MEDIUM-HIGH (70%) power for 1 minute; STIR. Morsels may retain some of their shape. If necessary, microwave at additional 10- to 15-second intervals, stirring just until melted. Combine Tasters Choice and water in small bowl. Beat cream cheese and coffee mixture into melted morsels. Gradually beat in powdered sugar until mixture reaches spreading consistency. Makes about 2 1/2 cups.

You could also use nutella in the filling for a good hazelnut flavor.

I have a chocolate cookie recipe that I turned mocha by taking 1 T. instant coffee to a cup of boiling water. Use that mixture in place of some of the liquid in a tried and true recipe. Good luck!
