   Moka Cake

Ingredients:

For the cake: 3 eggs 160 g of sugar 250 g of flour 2 teaspoons of instant coffee 100 ml of milk 100 ml of sunflower oil 1 cup of moka coffee 16 g of baking powder (1 bag) 1 spoon of unsweetened cocoa powder

For the moka cream: 250 ml of milk 100 ml of moka coffee 50 ml of fresh cream 20 g of corn starch 120 g of sugar 100 g of egg yolks

Prepare the moka cream for the filling. Mix the milk, the cream and the moka coffee in a pot and warm up for a few minutes. 


In a bowl add the sugar to the egg yolks and whisk until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the corn starch and mix until smooth. 

Pour this mixture into the pot where the liquids have been warmed up, mix and cook. Let it boil for a minute and then let the cream cool down.


Prepare the batter for the cake: whisk the eggs and the sugar, add the milk, the sunflower oil, the cold moka coffee and mix well.
Then add the flour, the cocoa, the baking powder, the instant coffee and the cream. Mix gently until it is smooth.

Grease a baking pan and put the batter inside it. Bake for 40/45 minutes.
When both the cake and the filling are cold, you can use the cream to fill and cover the cake. Decorate the top of the cake with chocolate coffee beans and/or real coffee beans. Enjoy!
