• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoon Instant coffee
• ¹⁄₂ cup Milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• ¹⁄₄ cup Powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon Cocoa powder
• for garnish Chocolate shavings

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Dissolve the instant coffee in milk and add it to the butter mixture. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, and continue to whip until stiff peaks form.
8. Once the cake has cooled, spread the mocha frosting evenly over the top. Garnish with chocolate shavings.
9. Let the cake rest for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to develop.
