Steps:
- For cake:
- Position rack in center of oven; preheat to 325°F. Generously butter two 9-inch cake pans with 2-inch-high sides; dust with flour, tapping out any excess. Line bottom of pans with parchment paper.
- Sift 2 cups cake flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt into medium bowl. Using electric mixer, beat butter in large bowl until smooth. Add brown sugar and beat until well blended, about 2 minutes. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla. Add flour mixture in 3 additions alternately with buttermilk in 2 additions, beating just until blended after each addition. Gradually add hot espresso-water mixture, beating just until smooth.
- Divide batter between pans; smooth tops. Bake cakes until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Cool cakes in pans on rack 15 minutes. Run small knife around sides of pans to loosen cakes. Invert cakes onto racks; lift pans off cakes and remove parchment. Place wire rack atop each cake; invert again so top side is up. Cool completely. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Wrap each cake in plastic and store at room temperature.
- For frosting:
- Sift cocoa powder into large bowl; add espresso powder. Bring 1 cup cream to boil in small saucepan. Slowly pour cream over cocoa mixture, whisking until cocoa is completely dissolved, about 1 minute. Add 1/2 cup cream and sugar; stir until sugar dissolves. Chill until cold, at least 2 hours. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; keep chilled.
- Add mascarpone to chilled cocoa mixture. Using electric mixer, beat on low speed until blended and smooth. Increase speed to medium-high; beat until mixture is thick and medium-firm peaks form when beaters are lifted, about 2 minutes (do not overbeat or mixture will curdle).
- Using pastry brush, brush off crumbs from cakes. Place 1 cake layer, top side up, on platter. Spoon 13/4 cups frosting in dollops over top of cake. Using offset spatula, spread frosting to edges. Top with second cake layer, top side up, pressing to adhere. Spread thin layer of frosting over top and sides of cake. Chill 10 minutes. Using offset spatula, spread remaining frosting over top and sides of cake, swirling decoratively. Top with chocolate curls, if desired. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover with cake dome; chill. Let stand at room temperature 20 minutes before serving.

CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH MOCHA FROSTING
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking pan. Line with parchment paper, then grease and flour the pan.
- Place the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium speed for 4 to 5 minutes, until light and fluffy, scraping down the bowl. On medium speed, add the vanilla, then beat in the eggs, one at a time, until incorporated and the batter is smooth.
- Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl. In another bowl or a liquid measuring cup, whisk together the hot water, cocoa powder, and espresso powder until smooth. Add the half-and-half and whisk until smooth. With the mixer on low, add the flour and chocolate mixtures alternately in thirds, starting and ending with the flour. With a rubber spatula, scrape down the bowl to be sure the batter is well mixed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and bake for 25 to 35 minutes, until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely in the pan. Turn out onto a flat platter or board and frost the top with the Mocha Frosting. Cut in squares and serve.
- Place the chocolate, butter, and espresso powder in a bowl. Heat the cream to simmer and pour it over the chocolate mixture, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is melted. (If the chocolate isn't melted, microwave the mixture for 15 seconds.) Stir in the Kahlua and vanilla and stir until the mixture is smooth. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes only, until cool but not cold.
- Scrape down the bowl and beat the frosting with a handheld mixer on high speed for 15 to 20 seconds only, until the mixture forms soft peaks. (If you overbeat it, it will curdle!) Spread on the cake immediately with a metal spatula.
COFFEE-CHOCOLATE LAYER CAKE WITH MOCHA-MASCARPONE FROSTING
This four-star showstopping recipe is from Bon Appétit (April 2009). It's a little effort but it's well worth it for special occasions. For a richer, darker cake and frosting use part or all Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa. Frosting must chill for at least 2 hours. DO AHEAD: Cake (either assembled or not) can be made 1 day ahead. Cover with cake dome; chill. Let stand at room temperature at least 20 minutes before serving.

MOCHA DARK CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH CAPPUCCINO FROSTING
My husband made this cake for a Valentine's Party. The other guys totally ignored the other desserts. Whether you make this as a simple 9X13 and slap the frosting on top, or go all out for a filled layer cake with the espresso glaze and cappuccino frosting, you will not be disappointed! This is mocha java heaven! Preparation time allows for the cake to sit overnight and chill once it's frosted. It's worth the wait, as the coffee flavors have time to blend with the chocolate flavors. YUM. The coffee glaze is a little extra work, but it is delicious and amazingly helpful when it comes to frosting the cake!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Grease one 9x13 or two 9" round cake pans.
- Cake: combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa.
- Add the molasses, mayonnaise, and vegetable oil. Mix well.
- While mixing, pour in the hot coffee.
- Add the vanilla and chocolate chips, stir until combined. Batter will be thinner than normal cake batters.
- Pour the batter into the pan(s). Bake for the 35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. 9x13 pans usually need to go for a few more minutes.
- If you are layering the round cakes, cool them for ten minutes on a wire rack, run a knife gently around the edges, flip pans over, rest for 10 minutes, then remove cakes from pans. Don't worry if they break apart a little bit. You can "glue" them back together with glaze and frosting!
- Allow cakes to cool completely, even overnight, before glazing/frosting.
- Espresso/Coffee Glaze:.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and coffee/espresso. Stir until sugar is dissolved.
- Allow to cool to body temperature or lower.
- Cappuccino Frosting.
- Combine dry ingredients in a medium bowl.
- Combine butter and shortening in a seperate, large bowl or mixer. Beat until fluffy.
- Add vanilla to the butter/shortening mixture.
- To the butter mixture, add half of the dry ingredients, beat, then half of the espresso/coffee, beat some more, then the other half of the dry ingredients, beat again.
- Add the remaining coffee slowly, only until desired consistency is reached. For a frosted layer cake, you want it to be a bit thick, but still smooth and fluffy.
- Assembly:.
- Set up desired cake board with one of the round cakes. Brush the ckae entirely with the semi-cool coffee glaze.
- Allow the glaze about 5 minutes to set.
- Spread a generous layer of frosting on top and place the second cake.
- Glaze the second cake.
- If you have any leftover glaze, just keep brushing it on (resist the urge to sip it, if you can!).
- Frost the sides and top of the cake with remaining frosting.
- Store cake in the refrigerator until you need it, as that will set the frosting properly. Because of the shortening, it will sit out well in normal temperatures, once it's been chilled.
- Enjoy!
