Espresso Martini Cake with Kahlua Ermine Frosting

A 4-serving cake inspired by espresso martinis: rich chocolate sponge with strong coffee notes, layered with a silky Kahlua ermine frosting. The ermined frosting is lighter and less sweet than traditional buttercream, finished with a glossy ganache drizzle for a restaurant-style dessert.

Instructions

Chef’s Pro Tips

  • For a stronger coffee taste, brush the cake with a splash of espresso before frosting.
  • If you want a glossy finish, add a thin ganache drizzle on top.
  • Chill the frosting briefly to ease spreading and achieve a smoother finish.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with a tiny espresso or coffee liqueur on the side for an extra martini vibe; pair with a light vanilla whipped cream if desired.

Storage Instructions

Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days; bring to room temp before serving.
