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.

I've been making this cake for several years now and always get compliments on it. I sometimes use a German Chocolate Cake recipe for the cake portion, and use toffee bits and mini chocolate chips in place of the Heath candy bars. I also substitute powdered cocoa (about 2 teaspoons) for the coffee granules in the topping, as I don't care for the taste of coffee. I guess that makes it more of a Chocolate Toffee Cream cake...but people always ask for more!

The day I tried this recipe I swore that this was the most delicious cake I had ever tasted. It was moist, chocolaty, and the topping was not too sweet. I need to try this recipe at least once. It will surely become one of your favorite to serve your family.

I love this cake! My sister would make it for me on request and I was so happy when I found it on here! It's simple and different and oh so tasty.

yes, the 1/2 tsp coffee and the 1 tsp water goes into the heavy cream. I also like to prepare this as a trifle. Pour batter into a large 1"+ deep bar pan to make a thin sheet cake and cube the cake when cool. layer the cake cubes, whipped cream, and toffee bits in a clear trifle bowl. It's very pretty and easier to serve.

This is my favorite dessert! My family has been making this one for several years now. Its incredibly moist, rich and creamy. It's surpisingly not too sweet and very light which makes for a refreshing addition to the holiday dessert lineup. You will not be disappointed

For the topping, I'm assuming the coffee/water is added to the whipping cream and brown sugar?Sounds tasty!Ruby
