Ingredients

For the Cake:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
– ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1 cup brewed coffee (cooled)
– ½ cup vegetable oil
– 3 large eggs
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– ¼ teaspoon salt
– 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
– ½ teaspoon almond extract
– ½ cup toasted sliced almonds (for topping)

For the Frosting:

– ⅓ cup cocoa powder
– ½ cup brewed coffee (cooled)
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– ¼ teaspoon almond extract


Instructions

Creating a Mocha Almond Fudge Cake is a satisfying experience that can be done with ease if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans and lightly dust them with flour.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, blend together the brewed coffee, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract until smooth.

4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and well-combined.

5. Divide Batter: Evenly distribute the batter between the two prepared cake pans.

6. Bake: Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

7. Cool: Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for about 15 minutes. Then, transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.

8. Prepare Frosting: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, mixing until combined. Then, add the brewed coffee, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Beat until fluffy and well-blended.

9. Assemble the Cake: Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of frosting on top, then place the second cake layer on top, smoothing frosting over the entire cake.

10. Add Toppings: Decorate the top with toasted sliced almonds for a delightful crunch.
