Mocha cake

Using my Basic Birthday Cake recipe, I created this 2-layer mocha cake.


I used a boxed chocolate cake mix for the cake part. The only additional ingredient I added was instant coffee powder. I added 2-3 tablespoons of coffee powder to the cake mix, and added just a tad extra water to the batter.

Also, I added about 3 tablespoons of coffee powder to the whipped cream as well.

You can add more or less coffee powder, depending on how strong of a coffee flavor you prefer.

Lastly, I topped the cake with mini Oreo cookies and chocolate sprinkles to decorate.
