Cocoa chocolate cake with espresso mascarpone whip from You Had Me At Cake: Unconditional Love in 80 Perfect, Simple Cakes (page 24) by Emelia Jackson

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Can substitute instant coffee powder for espresso. See recipe for neutral oil suggestions.

    Delicious and moist chocolate cake. Will definitely make again - didn’t even need the frosting. One improvement would be having a bit of a stronger chocolate flavour, with the cocoa not being too strong … maybe a chocolate icing/glaze with melted chocolate ??
