Yum Secret's video: Coffee Hazelnut Cake Mocha Cake Recipe

This Coffee Hazelnut Cake is made with a meringue hazelnut base and mocha buttercream filling! It’s such a fantastic combination! INGREDIENTS Meringue Base: ¾ cup (100g) hazelnuts 5 egg whites 1 ¾ cups (200g) icing sugar Mocha Buttercream: 2 ¼ sticks (250g) butter, softened ¼ cup icing sugar 3 tablespoons strong espresso coffee, cooled 1 egg yolk 2 oz (50g) dark chocolate, melted A little extra softened butter, to grease baking parchment Icing sugar, to dust PREPARATION 1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Line bottom of a 14 x 9-inch (35 x 25-cm) restangular baking pan with parchment paper and grease with softened butter to help with the release of the meringue. 2. In a food processor, grind the hazelnuts to a relatively fine and even consistency, making sure no big pieces remain. 3. Beat the egg whites until stiff in a stand mixer or using a hand-held electric whisk. Add the icing sugar, bit by bit, and whisk until stiff. Fold in the ground hazelnuts. 4. Spoon the mixture out evenly into the baking pan and level the surface. Pop into the preheated oven to bake for about 45 minutes. It should be baked through but not brown. 5. Make the Buttercream. Combine the softened butter, cooled strong espresso coffee, egg yolk and icing sugar in a bowl and mix together until they start to bind. Stir in the melted chocolate to form a smooth buttercream. 6. Once the meringue base has baked and cooled down, remove it from the pan and peel away the baking parchment. Very carefully cut the sides even, then cut into 3 equal rectangles. 7. To assemble the Mocha Hazelnut Cake, take the first meringue rectangle and place on your serving plate. Spread over a layer of buttercream. Put the second layer on top, then add another layer of buttercream. Add the top cake layer. Ensure all sides are lined up and even. Dust the top liberally with icing sugar. Leave for at least an hour to soften before very carefully slicing with a serrated knife into 5-6 squares. Any pressure and filling comes out, so be careful.
