Chocolate Mocha Fudge Cake

Notes

If you prefer a lighter texture for the cake, you can sift the flour and cocoa powder together a second time to aerate them more. This will result in an even fluffier cake. Additionally, feel free to adjust the sweetness of the frosting by adding more powdered sugar if you prefer a sweeter result.

Tips

• If you don’t have an 8-inch cake pan, you can use two 9-inch pans instead, but keep an eye on the baking time, as it may be slightly shorter.
• For a more pronounced coffee flavor, you can add more instant coffee to the batter or frosting, adjusting to taste.
• This cake can be made ahead of time. Store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate it for longer storage.
• If you want to make the cake even more decadent, consider adding a layer of chocolate ganache or whipped cream between the cake layers before frosting the entire cake.
