cake pan. Insert the grate at the bot-
tom level in the oven and place the cake
pan on the grate. Preheat the oven to
170°C and bake about 35 minutes with
top and bottom heat. Allow the base to
cool thoroughly (over night if necessary)
and slice horizontally into three slices.
Pour boiling water over the coffee, steep
and strain. Mix the corn starch with a
little water. Bring the coffee to a boil,
add the grated chocolate and stir in the
corn starch. Whip with a wire whisk un-
til the mass thickens. Remove the pot
from the stove, let the coffee crème cool
somewhat and fold in the egg yolk. Allow
the crème to cool. Beat the butter until
foamy and mix in the coffee crème one
spoon at a time. Spread 3/4 of the coffee
crème on the bottom and middle cake
layer. Place one layer on top of the other,
spread the remaining crème on the top
layer and decorate. Decorate the cake
with chocolate leaves and flakes and
chill before serving. TIP: If you prefer a
sweeter cake, use milk chocolate instead
of semi-sweet chocolate. If the mocha
butter crème curdles, put the bowl with
the crème in warm water and mix with a
wire whisk until smooth.
