Spoon the batter into the buttered and floured
cake pan.
Insert the grate at the bottom level in the oven
and place the cake pan on the grate.
Preheat the oven to 170°C and bake about 35
minutes with top and bottom heat.
Allow the base to cool thoroughly (over night if
necessary) and slice horizontally into three sli-
ces.
Pour boiling water over the coffee, steep and
strain. Mix the corn starch with a little water.
Bring the coffee to a boil, add the grated choco-
late and stir in the corn starch. Whip with a wire
whisk until the mass thickens.
Remove the pot from the stove, let the coffee
crème cool somewhat and fold in the egg yolk.
Allow the crème to cool.
Beat the butter until foamy and mix in the cof-
fee crème one spoon at a time.
Spread 3/4 of the coffee crème on the bottom
and middle cake layer. Place one layer on top of
the other, spread the remaining crème on the
top layer and decorate. Decorate the cake with
chocolate leaves and flakes and chill before ser-
ving.
TIP:
If you prefer a sweeter cake, use milk chocolate
instead of semi-sweet chocolate.
If the mocha butter crème curdles, put the bowl
with the crème in warm water and mix with a
wire whisk until smooth.
