There are some cakes for snacking, others for informal meals and then there is mocha celebration cake. This is the cake I prepare for a special occasion with more than a handful of guests since it serves 8 to 12. While you need to purchase a 12-inch round cake pan, you’ll be glad you have it on hand once you’ve tasted this divine chocolate-coffee mashup, moist and finished with a decadent ganache frosting.
Chocolate and coffee pair beautifully—their flavor profiles complement each other in a way that feels more balanced together than apart. This combination is commonly known as mocha, and this cake is a delicious way to enjoy the pairing.
