This Mocha crunch cake is AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS 😋!😍👌🏻🙌🏼 i needed to make second batch of honeycomb candy cause my housemates ate the big chunks😂the sponge cake was so moist and soft, i love that it had a hint of bitterness from chocolate and not so sweet, more on the side of chocolate flavor. the buttercream has the perfect level of sweetness, it was so flavorful and the best Mocha buttercream I ever tried, it complemented the flavor of the sponge cake👌🏻i just needed to dissolved though the coffee granules to 1 Tbsp of hot milk, my coffee granules were too big😂 This is my go to recipe whenever someone ask for mocha cake😋❤️ thank you Kurt for sharing your recipes 😍🙌🏼🙏🏻

[@dfwjim2000]

Kurt, I've been watching you off and on since I discovered you a few months ago when searching for Red Ribbon recipes. My wife and daughter (from Angeles city) moved here with me in Texas in 2017, and I try to find things that remind her of home. I also love baking and learning how to decorate but my full time work doesn't allow me tons of time. I appreciate you doing your techniques & videos, Salamat! Unfortunately we are a very long drive from Houston (the nearest Red Ribbon-and of course Jollibee) and I'm planning to make this for my wife's birthday so I hope this turns out great. It's very involved so I'll plan most of the day to work on this tomorrow (starting tonight if I can). I'm confident I can do this, I don't do much with meringue, but love butter cream frostings and cream cheese frostings. I have a Wilton Ultimate decorator's kit with tools my wife got me for Christmas over a year ago, so I believe I have what I need. I just never made candy before, so that will be new to me for sure. If you have not already, can you post how to make Red Ribbon's brownies? I sense a lot of chocolate ganache in the batter, it feels much like an american southern fudge in texture and I love their brownies and anything with Ube. Thanks again & be safe there and healthy in NYC!

[@cookingwithkurt]

Hello! Thank you for your comment! I'm happy to hear that you love baking also. I also love baking, and try to do as much as I can on top of my full time work :) Thanks for the request - I'll put brownies on my list of recipes to research and make a video! :D Take care and stay safe and healthy as well!

Thank you!! :D If cake flour is not available, you can substitute with all purpose flour and cornstarch: for every cup of cake flour needed, add 1 cup of all purpose flour, subtract 2 tbsp, then add 2 tbsp of cornstarch, and sift this together. This will act similar to cake flour. Hope this helps! :)

[@mariceldimaano5224]

Hi kurt, this cake looks so delicious and i cant wait to make it myself. I have one question though, the hot coffee with unsweetened cocoa powder, did you use instant coffee and how much instant coffee used? Thanks so much. More power to your channel.

[@cookingwithkurt]

Hi Maricel - for the coffee, you can just make coffee however you normally make it for drinking. I use a Keurig machine, so I just use 1 Keurig pod which makes a maximum of 1.5 cups of liquid coffee - and I use 3/4 cup of that. Because I use a Keurig machine, I cannot control how strong my coffee is. If you use instant coffee (like Maxwell House brand for example), just mix 2 tsp (or whatever the bottle recommends) of instant coffee into 3.4 cup of boiling water, mix it in. The strength of the liquid coffee won’t have too much of an effect on the final cake. Hope this helps! :)

Very detailed I like it and I am going to try it for my hubby's birthday. I have questions. I cannot find any cake flour can I use regular APF? I saw some recipe that requires baking powder, what's your thought on that?

[@cookingwithkurt]

Hi Aileen, thanks for your question! If cake flour is not available, you can substitute with all purpose flour and cornstarch: for every cup of cake flour needed, add 1 cup of AP flour, subtract 2 tbsp, then add 2 tbsp of cornstarch, and sift this together. This will act similar to cake flour. Cake flour has a lower protein content compared to AP flour, which it creates a more tender texture, finer crumbs, and better rise, which are ideal for chiffon cakes. And substituting with cornstarch combo like this imitates that. Hope this helps! :) As for your question regarding baking powder... this recipe contains baking soda, so baking powder is not needed. Even though the two are similar (baking powder contains baking soda), they are used differently in baking. Baking soda is much more basic (it is pure sodium bicarbonate), and will make cakes very bitter if they don't contain a neutralizing acid. Baking soda is used in cakes where the base is countered by an acid (like buttermilk or vinegar) in the batter. You'll notice my ube cake and mango cake recipes don't use baking soda. They don't have acidic ingredients so the recipes use baking powder. Baking powder has neutralizing agents that don't make it bitter. If you used baking soda in the ube or mango cakes, the cake would turn out bitter. This particular mocha cake recipe can handle the baking soda because cocoa powder and coffee are very acidic. So they neutralize the basic-ness of the baking soda. Most chocolate cake recipes I know use just baking soda because they can handle the strength of baking soda without making them bitter. As for mocha cake recipes that use baking powder, my guess is they either don't have as much neutralizing acid in batter, and they have to use a lot more baking powder - you have to use approximately 3x the amount of baking powder as baking soda for the same effect. As a side note - this recipe is a chiffon cake. So it gets most of its rise from the air whipped into the egg whites in the meringue. The baking soda (or powder) is just to give it even more lightness / airiness in the texture. Sorry for the long response - hope this answers your question! :)

@@cookingwithkurt salamat sa reply and information about Baking soda vs baking powder. Now I have knowledge about baking ingredients. I did the cake and it was a hit 👍🏻😂. My first time baking an actual cake. It was for my hubby's birthday. Infact One of them ask me to bake her daughter's bday cake. Its chocolate so now I have to learn and watch videos of chocolate cake. I followed your directions about how can Apf almost similar to cake flour. Thank you so much!

hi kurt! can i use baking powder as a substitute for the baking soda?

[@cookingwithkurt]

Hi Tristan, thanks for your question! If baking soda is not available, you can use baking powder instead, but just triple the amount. So instead of the 2 tsp baking soda in the recipe, use 6 tsp of baking powder (which is equivalent to 2 tbsp baking powder). Hope this helps! :)

[@georgejojomolavin4407]

In this recipe can i cook. It in a steamer?

[@cookingwithkurt]

Hi George, thanks for your question! Yes, you can steam the cake instead of baking. But you have to half the cooking time - so I estimate about 20 min of steaming as steaming cooks faster. Steaming also dries out the cake more, so add more vegetable oil to the wet ingredients. So 3/4 cup of vegetable oil (instead of 1/2 cup in the recipe). The flavor will also be a bit different. Baking in oven browns the chiffon cake a bit. Whereas steaming will have more of a pure flavor of chocolate/coffee. But will not have the browned rounded flavor profile. Hope this helps! 😊

What if.I dont have corn syrup? What to use instead...thanks

[@cookingwithkurt]

Cynthia Narciso Hi Cynthia. If corn syrup is not available, you can use just honey. I'd say 1/4 cup of honey should be enough (no need to add that extra 2 tbsp). Hope this helps! :)

I made this and its soooooo good! I posted a photo in your FB page. But how do I make the cake more moist? mine is not as wet as the Ube overload and the red velvet (both also your recipes which is our family's favorites)

[@cookingwithkurt]

Hi Geraldine - thanks for your comment! I'm so happy to hear that your Choco Mocha Crunch Cake turned out well... LOVED your pictures on FB - they were so beautiful! Regarding your questions: 1.) You can make the cake more moist by either decreasing the baking time so the cake doesn't dry out as much. Dry chiffon cakes may be a sign that they were over-baked. I'd suggest checking with a toothpick around 25 minutes to see if it is done. Or you can also increase the amount of vegetable oil in the wet ingredients - I'd suggest starting with 2/3 cup vegetable oil instead of the 1/2 cup in the recipe, and see how you like that. 2.) Usually when people do not get crunchy honeycomb candy, it's because they didn't use a thermometer to ensure the sugar reached 300 F for the hard-crack stage as shown in the video. Did you use a thermometer? As long as it reached 300 F (the hard crack stage), your resulting honeycomb should be very crunchy. If a candy thermometer is not available, you can estimate the hard crack stage using a bowl of cold water. Have a bowl of cold water and a spoon next to your boiling sugar. When the sugar syrup starts to boil (on very high heat), every few minutes, take the spoon and scoop up a spoonful of syrup and drop it into the cold water. If the syrup forms a soft ball, or pliable threads in the cold water - it is not yet hot enough. Keep testing your syrup every 2 minutes. It has reached the "hard crack stage" required for making honeycomb when the spoonful of syrup turns into brittle threads in the cold water that easily cracks / snaps. Hope this helps! :)

[@melanielaureano6661]

Pwede po ba ito steam cake?

[@cookingwithkurt]

Hi Melanie. Sa tingin ko ay pwedeng isteam din ito. Steaming ay mas mabilis kaysa sa pagbe-bake. 20 minuto lamang ang luto sa steaming sa halip na 35-40 minuto kung baking sa oven. Gayundin, ang steaming ay mas nakakatuyo ng cake kaya kailangan mong magdagdag ng canola oil para moist at hindi tuyo ang cake. Dahil hindi ko pa talaga nasubukan ang paraang steaming, hindi ko pa sigurado kung gaano eksaktong canola oil ang kailangang idagdag. Pero pwede mong subukan na magdagdag ng 3/4 cup sa 1 cup canola oil sa halip na 1/2 cup na nakalagay sa recipe. Hope this helps! 😊
