Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 teaspoons Instant coffee granules
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Hot water
• 1.5 cups Heavy whipping cream
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 cup Toffee bits
• 0.5 cup Semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the instant coffee granules.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and egg until fully combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gradually stir in the hot water until the batter is smooth (it will be thin).

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.

Step 6

Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 7

While the cakes are cooling, make the mocha cream. In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and remaining coffee granules (dissolved in 1 tablespoon of hot water) until soft peaks form.

Step 8

Once the cakes are cool, place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of mocha cream on top, then sprinkle with a quarter of the toffee bits.

Step 9

Place the second cake layer on top, then spread the remaining mocha cream over the top and sides of the cake.

Step 10

Garnish the torte with the remaining toffee bits and sprinkle semi-sweet chocolate chips on top for decoration.

Step 11

Chill the toffee mocha cream torte in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. Slice and enjoy!
