Remixed from “Espresso Cocoa Cake with Kahlua Ermine Frosting for Two” — View Original

Espresso Cocoa Cake with Kahlu a Ermine Frosting Remix

A playful remix that keeps the espresso cake vibe but scales the Kahlu(a) Ermine Frosting to familiar cup-based measurements. The cake stays moist with espresso and cocoa, while the frosting gains a glossy, fluffy finish with a sweet vanilla-Kahlua kiss and comfortable texture thanks to the ermine method.

Remix request: “Add Kahula Ermine frosting to this recipe using cups and teaspoons/tablespoons as quantities”

Chef’s Pro Tips

  • Sift cocoa to avoid lumps for a smoother batter.
  • Chill frosting 5–10 minutes before spreading for easier handling.
  • If frosting is too thick, whisk in a splash of milk until spreading consistency.
  • For extra shine, glaze the cooled cake with a thin chocolate syrup after frosting.
  • Serve with a dollop of whipped cream to balance richness.

Serving Suggestions

Pair with fresh berries or a light vanilla whipped cream; add a cup of coffee or espresso to complete the dessert experience.

Storage Instructions

Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; bring to room temp before serving for best texture.
