Q: <strong>Does this Mocha Cake need Refrigeration?</strong>

Because of the mocha cream filling , this cake needs to be refrigerated in an airtight container or cake dome. However, for best taste and texture, remove from the refrigerator about two hours before serving so that the cake and frosting have time to warm and soften.

Q: <strong>Can the Cake Layers be Frozen?</strong>

Yes, just as with the majority of our cakes (from buttermilk pound cake to WASC cake , Italian Cream Cake , and more), these cake layers freeze beautifully! After cooling the cake layers (to room temperature or slightly warm), wrap each layer individually in plastic wrap followed by foil. We like to place each layer on a foil-wrapped cake cardboard before wrapping for extra support. To thaw , move each wrapped cake layer to the kitchen counter. Allow to sit for 30-45 minutes before unwrapping. This allows time for any condensation to collect on the wrapping rather than on the cake layers. Thaw to desired amount for cake assembly. (Some bakers like to assemble their cakes while the layers are still partially frozen as they are less fragile.)

Question 3

How strong is the Coffee Flavor in Mocha Cake?

Accepted Answer

The coffee flavor in the cake layers themselves is subtle (just as with our other chocolate cakes that call for coffee- including our Chocolate Sour Cream Cake and Fudge Cake).

The coffee flavor in this Mocha Cake comes mainly from the mocha mousse filling and mocha buttercream! All in all, you will have the perfect balance of chocolate and coffee flavor!
