Dividing a round
chocolate butter cake into three layers, and spreading each layer with
silky smooth mocha buttercream creates this cake. The cake is finished
using the same mocha buttercream and sided with shaved bittersweet chocolate.
The center of the cake is accented with piped chocolate ganache and chocolate
coffee beans accent the delicate shell border.

This
cake, as with all butter cakes, should be served at room temperature.
If the cake has been refrigerated it should be removed from the refrigerator at least one hour before serving. This allows the butter, which is present in the body of the cake, to soften and moisten the "crumb" of the cake. |

After serving the remaining cake should be refrigerated with cut sides of the cake covered with wax paper to assure freshness. | ||
