Mocha Icing/
Chocolate and Coffee Icing/
Icing for Chocolate and Coffee Lovers
Hi Friends,
I you love coffee and chocolate or you can say Mocha Coffee or cake then you will definitely going to love it. I have made this MOCHA CAKE few days back when i was thinking to keep that simple without icing then i though what about a Mocha Cake covered with Mocha Icing. And started making but there was still a doubt if it doesn't taste good or chocolate suppress the taste of coffee and all kind of doubts. But still in my heart there was a confidence of success of this icing so i went ahead. I was awestruck with the result. It was so yumm that i can have it as it is. No need of cake or dessert. You can use it to top up your ice cream truffle parfait etc.  If you gnat to make it for parties then make it be forehead and store in fridge. So conclusion is that Combo become instant hit and everybody started fighting to keep one piece safe for their next day's lunch box. So finally i made equal pieces for everybody. I will suggest you to try it once.

Ingredients:-
Dark Chocolate- 150gm or 1 cup chopped
Milk- half cup or as required
Coffee- 2 tsp 


Method:-
Take all your ingredients

Melt chocolate by double boiling method

Boil the milk 



Now take coffee powder in a bowl 

add some hot milk 

mix it till coffee dissolves fully and foam appears 
(You can also give it a boil to fully dissolve it)

Now both beauties are ready to get married

slowly add coffee mix to melted chocolate 

Whisk it for almost 2-3 minutes 


Ready to decorate a cake

Yummm

After keeping in fridge for 10 minutes

i can have it like this 
a spoonful straight in the mouth

Enjoy a Slice
Notes:-
  1. Use hot water to make coffee solution as we are not going to cook it after mixing it in chocolate so it should not taste raw.
  2. You can increase or decrease the quantity of coffee in it as per your choice.
  3. You can make this icing without coffee also.
  4. You can add sugar but as i have used chocolate in it that was sweet enough but if you feel sugar is less you can add 1 tbsp in it. 
  5. For pouring consistency you can warm it a bit and to make it thick for piping simply keep in fridge for some time.
  6. Use it on desserts, ice creams, cakes, custard etc.
Hope you will like it

Chocolate Cake with Chocolate butter cream Icing, Topped with Chocolate Sauce/ Triple Chocolate Cake

Eggless Chocolate Cake with Chocolate butter cream Icing, Topped with Chocolate Sauce/
Eggless Triple Chocolate Cake
Hi Friends,
I am back after spending weeks in hospital and at my mom's home (still i am there) without mobile phone. Trying to recover from the past few horrible weeks of my life. So many medicines, painful injections, smell of cotton, bandages and so many kinds of sanitiser's made me mad. First time in life i was admitted to the hospital. It was so painful experience physically and mentally. Support of my sisters, mom, dad, brother gave me courage to recover from all this trauma. I stayed 3 days in hospital away from my kids and when i saw them i started crying. Still my kids asks me 'mom why were you crying that day'. I really don't have answer for there question. Every time they ask this question few drops rolls over my cheeks and i grab my kids in my arms. I am advised to take only home made, hygienic, healthy and light food. So may be now my blog would be flooded with some healthy and light recipes. But as i have seen my blog after so many days and filled with the same feeling when i saw my kids after few days, i am feeling like crying. So today i will post something sweet to forget those painful experiences.
Today i am going to post a chocolate cake filled with chocolate butter cream icing and topped with chocolate sauce. My God so much chocolate. It could be a treat for Chocolate lovers like me but fate that i can't eat anything like that. No worries my readers are most welcome to enjoy this delicious cake. 
This post is more about simple and easy yet attractive decoration of cakes. I was always fascinated with some simple yet attractive decorations of the cakes. I try to watch cake decoration videos whenever get time. Then i came to know that the designs which use to amaze me takes hardly few minutes to make. Sometimes i don't get time to decorate the cakes. Then one fine day when i made this cake and topped it with chocolate sauce but it was looking so simple so thought to make it more appealing. Suddenly i reminded one video in which few strokes made a cake so appealing. I picked up a toothpick and marked few lines and my god it was a different cake within minutes. So here i am presenting cake along with a easy peasy way to decorate a simple cake. Hope you will like it.
