German Mocha Mole Cake – Maulwurfkuchen

I don’t know how many of you are familiar with this German Mole Cake – Maulwurfkuchen. It is a very popular cake that many are preparing it using a store-bought Mole Cake Mix. This is a very easy cake that can be made from scratch, and that is what I am going to share with you. There are many recipes for this cake, I made my own recipe , a German Mocha Mole Cake, combining one of my favorite chocolate cake recipes with fresh bananas and mocha whipped cream.

In the classic mole cake there is no coffee but I have always loved how bananas, chocolate and coffee go together. Coffee always enhances the chocolate flavor in every dessert. The cake consists of a chocolate sponge cake, filled with fresh bananas, mocha whipped cream with chocolate and coated into chocolate cake crumbs. 

How to make German Mocha Mole Cake.

First, you have to prepare a chocolate cake and let it cool completely. For the chocolate cake I use a chocolate cake recipe that I love, the one used in this Chocolate Rose Cake and adapted for this recipe. The batter is made using hot coffee which makes the batter a bit runny but once baked it is moist and chocolatey, not to mention very easy to prepare. 

Once cooled, use a tablespoon to hollow out the center of the cake and turn the reserved cake into crumbs. 

Make the mocha whipped cream filling by whipping cream with instant coffee powder and powdered sugar. You can consider using gelatin or cream stabilizer if desired. I didn’t feel the need but go for it if that makes you feel more comfortable.  In the end,fold some mini chocolate rocks or shredded chocolate. 

Fill the cake with fresh bananas, and cover with the mocha whipped cream in a shape dome. 

Coat with cake crumbs and the cake is ready.
