Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the oven reaches the right temperature by the time your batter is ready.

2. Prepare the Cake Pans: Lightly grease three 7-inch cake pans with butter or cooking spray. This will prevent the cake from sticking. You can also line the bottom of the pans with parchment paper for extra assurance.

3. Mix the Dry Ingredients: Sift together the self-rising flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder into a large mixing bowl. Sifting ensures the ingredients are well combined and free from lumps.

4. Add the Sugar: Stir the sugar into the sifted dry ingredients, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout.

5. Make a Well and Add Wet Ingredients: Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Crack the eggs into the well, then add the light corn syrup, vegetable oil, and milk. Mix everything together by gently stirring the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients with a spoon until well combined.

6. Beat the Batter: Continue beating with the spoon, gradually incorporating the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. The batter should be smooth and slightly thick. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the texture of the cake.

7. Bake the Cakes: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake the cakes in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes. To check for doneness, lightly press the center of the cakes – they should spring back. Alternatively, a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.

8. Cool the Cakes: Once the cakes are done, remove them from the oven and allow them to stand in the pans for about 5 minutes. After that, turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely.

9. Prepare the Coffee Cream Filling: In a separate bowl, dissolve the instant coffee in boiling water. Add the heavy cream and powdered sugar, and whip until the cream holds soft peaks. Be careful not to overwhip, as you want the cream to be thick but still spreadable.

10. Assemble the Cake: Once the cakes have cooled, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread half of the coffee cream mixture over the first cake layer. Top with the second layer of cake and repeat with the remaining coffee cream. Place the third layer of cake on top.

11. Decorate the Cake: Lightly press the grated chocolate into the sides of the cake, allowing it to stick to the creamy filling. For a beautiful finishing touch, arrange the chopped chocolate pieces on top of the cake, creating a visually appealing garnish.

12. Serve and Enjoy: Let the cake sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Slice into generous portions and serve with a hot cup of Café Mocha, a perfect pairing for this indulgent dessert.

This creamy coffee cake will quickly become a family favorite with its deliciously decadent chocolate and coffee flavors. Whether it’s for brunch or an evening dessert, it’s sure to impress. Enjoy the perfect balance of sweetness and richness with every bite!
