Recipe Description
A rich dark chocolate cake with a silky mocha swiss meringue buttercream. This cake is pure decadence. The cake layer itself is ultra moist and chocolatey thanks to the addition of coffee in the batter. The batter will be very thin when poured into the pans, but will bake up perfectly. The mocha buttercream is so heavenly you will want to eat it with a spoon!
