Chocolate Coffee Mocha Cake is a delicious, melt-in-the-mouth layered cake. It is full of chocolate and coffee flavors coming together beautifully. The layers are chocolate-soaked with coffee syrup and filled with coffee cream.

Yes, it’s been 3 years since LiG came into existence. Time has flown by in the last 2 years. A lot of things have changed, grown bigger and better, and some have been discarded with time. And here we are, 3 years and going strong.
I started LiG as a surprise 5th anniversary gift for V. So with blogversary we celebrate our anniversary too.
I wanted to do an Eggless BlackForest Cake, but couldn’t even find canned cherries in the nearby area, so changed plans last-minute to accommodate and created a Coffee Layered cake. And I must say I did not overly miss the black forest. :)
I used the chocolate base which has been a hit in my family from Eggless Chocolate Truffle Cake. Soaked it in simple coffee syrup & frosted with whipped cream mixed with some coffee. Topped it with some chocolate curls.
In other news, life is going on chug-chug.
It was perfectly perfect for the occasion, though a little heavy on coffee for kids. Thankfully my kids ate only a few spoonfuls and didn’t give me wide awake at night. ;)
I loved it. V as usual enjoyed every bite of it. Every bite was full of decadence, flavor, and richness.
