This was absolutely delicious and is a welcome dessert for any occasion.If you have a sweet tooth and nothing else can do justice to it...go ahead and try the Mocha Fudge.

                     Desserts take a very special place when I plan to have guests over. Before I think of the appetizers and the Entree I have to have my dessert planned. I was having my my dear U.Kevin over along with his Lorraine,Anaika and Aditya. I said this is the gonna make their day and indeed it did.

8 servings
Ingredients:
1 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup +1 table spoon dark or light cocoa
3 eggs
pinch of salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1 cup finely chopped pecans
thin sugar syrup ( 1cup water: 1/2 cup sugar- dissolve)

  • Heat oven to 350F. Butter bottom and sides of 2 round pans- 8*2".
  • Melt butter in a small saucepan. Remove from heat and add the cocoa, stirring until blended (u can also microwave the butter for 30 seconds and add the cocoa); cool slightly.
  • Beat eggs in large bowl until foamy.
  • Add salt and vanilla.
  • Gradually add sugar  beating well.
  • Add cooled chocolate mixture,blend thoroughly.Fold in flour. Stir in pecans/walnut( roasted tastes better). pour mixture into prepared pans.
  • Bake 25-30 mins or until wooden pick it  inserted into cake comes out clean.Dont over bake. cool 5 mins. remove from pan to wire racks.
  • Make the sugar syrup and pour it on the cake preferably when it is hot or when u have it cooled. Dont make it too soggy or it will be hard to pour the cream filling..(Optional)
  • Spread CREAMY COFFEE FILLING over top and sides of cake. Garnish with chocolate curls,if desired and refridgerate for 1 hour or longer before serving.
CREAMY COFFEE FILLING:
  • 1 1/2cups cold whipping cream

  • 2 tsp gelatin
Freeze the bowl you plan to use for beating for 15 minutes.Soak gelatin in 2 Tbsp water and heat for 10 seconds on microwave. Start whipping the cream on low till it kind off becomes stiff. Gradually add the sugar and instant coffee and the gelatin.Beat until soft peaks form.Spread over cake and decorate as desired.
