: I don't think that will give you enough of the coffee taste.  I make my chocolate cakes with a devil's food mix and use brewed coffee for most of the liquid, and they don't taste like coffee or mocha--just deep rich chocolate.  I think you would need to use a yellow mix and add a little cocoa and some strong coffee to make it mocha flavored.  Sorry I can't give you proportions--I've never had a request for mocha.


: My wife asked if I might make a Chocolate Mocha Cake for a coworkers birthday. She talks about it often. At the bakery we made Mocha Tortes, which consisted of 4 thin layers of gold cake, filled and iced with Mocha Buttercream. This we made by dissolving some instant coffee in a little water and folding into regular white buttercreme icing.

If I add a mixture of about a Tablespoon of the Instant Coffee granules to the cake batter for an 8" cake (a choc fudge mix),and reconstitute another Tablespoon in a little liquid and add it to Chocolate Buttercream Icing, will it give me the Chocolate Mocha flavor I'm looking for?
