Toffee-Mocha Cream Torte Recipe image

When you really want to impress someone, this scrumptious torte is just the thing to make! Instant coffee granules give the moist chocolate cake a mild mocha flavor...while the fluffy whipped cream layers, blended with brown sugar and crunchy toffee bits, are deliciously rich. -Lynn Rogers, Richfield, North Carolina

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1-1/2 teaspoons McCormick® Pure Vanilla Extract
2-2/3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup baking cocoa
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
1 cup boiling water
TOPPING:
1/2 teaspoon instant coffee granules
1 teaspoon hot water
2 cups heavy whipping cream
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
6 Heath candy bars (1.4 ounces each), crushed, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350° . In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating well after each addition. Dissolve coffee in water; stir into batter.
  • Pour into three greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans. Bake 16-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
  • For topping, dissolve coffee in water in a large bowl; cool. Add cream and brown sugar. Beat until stiff peaks form. Place bottom cake layer on a serving plate; top with 1-1/3 cups of topping. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of crushed candy bars. Repeat layers twice. Store in the refrigerator.
