Mocha cake inspired by Goldilocks cakes

When I was little, everytime there is a party I would always expect that delicious light brown colored sponge cake. I was actually first introduced to Mocha cake before chocolate or vanilla cakes. I always wondered what makes it so delicious. Only to find out that the secret is COFFEE.

A few weeks ago, I was feeling nostalgic. I wanted to feel like a kid again and experience that happy feeling everytime I eat Mocha cake. Since i've been baking for a good few months, I have the basic tools to make a sponge cake. And on that snowy afternoon, I decided to give Mocha cake a try. I researched online to find a recipe close to what Goldilocks make and luckily I was able to find one. The recipe I found for me needs to be a little sweeter and should have a more Mocha taste. And so, just like any other recipes I find, I tweaked it to suit my tastebuds. Again, I used Swiss Meringue Buttercream in mocha flavor and the cake is the regular sponge cake. I know I need to practice icing the cake because it looks like a little wobbly but let me tell you, this one tastes like the one made from Goldilocks. Here is the finished product.

Enjoy!
