CAFé MOCHA CAKE BY SUSAN
This is based on my Cherry Coke cake recipe, and is a good example of what can be done with a cake mix. The family loves this one. Understand, there is caffeine in it from the espresso - so be careful with your little ones. My daughter asked me to post the Cherry Coke cake recipe too, so I will add it in the instructions below.

Steps:
- 1. Prepare cake according to package directions, in a greased and floured 9 x 13-inch cake pan. Use the evaporated milk to replace the water, and add in the espresso powder. Bake at 350° for time indicated, usually 24 - 28 minutes. Mine normally takes the full 28 minutes. Cool about 10 minutes in pan; do not remove from pan.
- 2. While cake is cooling, prepare frosting: In a small saucepan, heat together the butter, cocoa powder, espresso powder, and evaporated milk for just a few minutes and stir until well-blended.
- 3. Pour heated mixture over the confectioners' sugar in a large mixing bowl, and beat well, until smooth and well-blended. Pour immediately over warm cake, spreading evenly.
- 4. Allow cake and frosting to cool to room temperature. Slice and serve.
- 5. To make the Cherry Coke cake: Use a 12-oz can of Cherry Coke in place of the evaporated milk (9 ounces in cake + 3 ounces in frosting). Leave out the espresso powder. Bake exactly as above.
