This Mocha crunch cake is AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS 😋!😍👌🏻🙌🏼 i needed to make second batch of honeycomb candy cause my housemates ate the big chunks😂the sponge cake was so moist and soft, i love that it had a hint of bitterness from chocolate and not so sweet, more on the side of chocolate flavor. the buttercream has the perfect level of sweetness, it was so flavorful and the best Mocha buttercream I ever tried, it complemented the flavor of the sponge cake👌🏻i just needed to dissolved though the coffee granules to 1 Tbsp of hot milk, my coffee granules were too big😂 This is my go to recipe whenever someone ask for mocha cake😋❤️ thank you Kurt for sharing your recipes 😍🙌🏼🙏🏻

Tried this for my birthday but the cake didn’t set overnight as friends come to celebrate! My 1st honey comb is a failure as I use electric stove and burnt it even before it reach hard crack temp.

Salamat
You're very welcome!! Please let me know how your Choco Mocha Crunch Cake turns out :)
CookingwithKurt i will. Now i will just find time when can i bake. I work almost everyday. Thank u soooo much. Stay safe
Kurt, I've been watching you off and on since I discovered you a few months ago when searching for Red Ribbon recipes. My wife and daughter (from Angeles city) moved here with me in Texas in 2017, and I try to find things that remind her of home. I also love baking and learning how to decorate but my full time work doesn't allow me tons of time. I appreciate you doing your techniques & videos, Salamat!
Unfortunately we are a very long drive from Houston (the nearest Red Ribbon-and of course Jollibee) and I'm planning to make this for my wife's birthday so I hope this turns out great. It's very involved so I'll plan most of the day to work on this tomorrow (starting tonight if I can). I'm confident I can do this, I don't do much with meringue, but love butter cream frostings and cream cheese frostings. I have a Wilton Ultimate decorator's kit with tools my wife got me for Christmas over a year ago, so I believe I have what I need. I just never made candy before, so that will be new to me for sure.
If you have not already, can you post how to make Red Ribbon's brownies? I sense a lot of chocolate ganache in the batter, it feels much like an american southern fudge in texture and I love their brownies and anything with Ube.
Thanks again & be safe there and healthy in NYC!
Hello! Thank you for your comment! I'm happy to hear that you love baking also. I also love baking, and try to do as much as I can on top of my full time work :)
Thanks for the request - I'll put brownies on my list of recipes to research and make a video! :D
Take care and stay safe and healthy as well!
Hello! Here's the latest video on how to make Red Ribbon Fudge Brownies recipe: ua-cam.com/video/wat_cd8AN3w/v-deo.html
CookingwithKurt thank you for the reply and doing the process to work out the recipe! It looks straightforward and I appreciate the work and fulfilling the request. I’ll surprise my family with these, my daughter is quite the chocoholic and loves Red Ribbon and Jollibee! I can’t wait to try it! Thank you again Kurt and Donald!
dfwjim2000 It was our pleasure! 😄 We hope your daughter likes the brownies! Take care and stay safe! ❤️
CookingwithKurt thanks again, I think some people missed the fact that baking especially has scientific processes involved as well. Both of you stay safe as well and I love the videos!

Hi Kurt. I am a fan! Can you make a Swiss mocha roll please..Thank you. I love how you do all your videos very clear and easy to follow.
Hi Natalie - I'll add mocha roll to my list of recipes to research and make a video :)
Hi Kurt, very clear demo. I feel like I can make it because you presented it very well.
Btw, can I use all-purpose flour instead?
Thank you!! :D If cake flour is not available, you can substitute with all purpose flour and cornstarch: for every cup of cake flour needed, add 1 cup of all purpose flour, subtract 2 tbsp, then add 2 tbsp of cornstarch, and sift this together. This will act similar to cake flour. Hope this helps! :)
Great recipe! Had so many complements when I made this cake. Are you going to make an ensaymada recipe in the future? Please do, you are 1 trusted chef/baker on complicated recipes so I would love to learn ensaymada from you.

Loved it. Loved your honeycomb technique. Well done Kurt. Stay safe and well and see you next time. ❣️
BTW, have you done ube sansrival? How about ube sylvanas? That would be yummy 🤔

Curious to know if you knew how to go about something the regular caramel/coffee crunch cake that RedRibbon used to sell here in the US and discontinued? I much prefer that one since it was a white cake with the white frosting, I think they still sell it in the Philippines but yeah. Would I go about it the same way and maybe perhaps omit the coffee? Thanks :]
Hello! Thanks for your comment! :)
I'm not familiar with the regular caramel/coffee crunch cake. It sounds like a regular white chiffon cake (similar to the one I make for my Mango Supreme cake video, but without the lemon/orange zest). I'll put it on my list of recipes to research and make a video! :)
So glad you researched and made the original one!!! Thanks!!!
Ube pandesal next please :)
Justinne Brown Hi Justinne, thanks for the request! I’ll add ube pandesal to my list of recipes to research and make a video 😊
hi kurt can you also do the red ribbon’s coffee crunch cake? please? thank u
Hello - I'll add that to my list of recipes to research and make a video :)
@@cookingwithkurt still waiting... coffee crunch cake thank you ;)
hi kurt! can i use baking powder as a substitute for the baking soda?
Hi Tristan, thanks for your question! If baking soda is not available, you can use baking powder instead, but just triple the amount. So instead of the 2 tsp baking soda in the recipe, use 6 tsp of baking powder (which is equivalent to 2 tbsp baking powder). Hope this helps! :)
Hi Kurt. I’m your fan. Please make buko pandan cake. Thank you so much.
Hi Raiza, thanks for your request. I'll add buko pandan cake to my list of recipes to research and make a video :)
Cooking with Kurt I’m so thankful of all your videos. All your cake recipes is my business now. I got a lot of appreciations from my clients especially the ube cake. Maraming salamat Kurt😍🥰💕
Very detailed I like it and I am going to try it for my hubby's birthday. I have questions. I cannot find any cake flour can I use regular APF? I saw some recipe that requires baking powder, what's your thought on that?
Hi Aileen, thanks for your question! If cake flour is not available, you can substitute with all purpose flour and cornstarch: for every cup of cake flour needed, add 1 cup of AP flour, subtract 2 tbsp, then add 2 tbsp of cornstarch, and sift this together. This will act similar to cake flour. Cake flour has a lower protein content compared to AP flour, which it creates a more tender texture, finer crumbs, and better rise, which are ideal for chiffon cakes. And substituting with cornstarch combo like this imitates that. Hope this helps! :)
As for your question regarding baking powder... this recipe contains baking soda, so baking powder is not needed. Even though the two are similar (baking powder contains baking soda), they are used differently in baking.
Baking soda is much more basic (it is pure sodium bicarbonate), and will make cakes very bitter if they don't contain a neutralizing acid. Baking soda is used in cakes where the base is countered by an acid (like buttermilk or vinegar) in the batter. You'll notice my ube cake and mango cake recipes don't use baking soda. They don't have acidic ingredients so the recipes use baking powder. Baking powder has neutralizing agents that don't make it bitter. If you used baking soda in the ube or mango cakes, the cake would turn out bitter.
This particular mocha cake recipe can handle the baking soda because cocoa powder and coffee are very acidic. So they neutralize the basic-ness of the baking soda. Most chocolate cake recipes I know use just baking soda because they can handle the strength of baking soda without making them bitter.
As for mocha cake recipes that use baking powder, my guess is they either don't have as much neutralizing acid in batter, and they have to use a lot more baking powder - you have to use approximately 3x the amount of baking powder as baking soda for the same effect.
As a side note - this recipe is a chiffon cake. So it gets most of its rise from the air whipped into the egg whites in the meringue. The baking soda (or powder) is just to give it even more lightness / airiness in the texture.
Sorry for the long response - hope this answers your question! :)
@@cookingwithkurt salamat sa reply and information about Baking soda vs baking powder. Now I have knowledge about baking ingredients. I did the cake and it was a hit 👍🏻😂. My first time baking an actual cake. It was for my hubby's birthday. Infact One of them ask me to bake her daughter's bday cake. Its chocolate so now I have to learn and watch videos of chocolate cake. I followed your directions about how can Apf almost similar to cake flour. Thank you so much!
Hi Aileen. You're very welcome! If you're looking for a plain chocolate cake recipe, I have one here: ua-cam.com/video/yCAulpNoPOA/v-deo.html

Hi Kurt! Hope you could show how to make Red Ribbon Rocky Road Cake next time;)
Hi Jem! Thanks for the request. I'll add Red Ribbon's Rocky Road Cake to my list of recipes to research and make a video :)
I am sure it will be amazing just like your Black Forest Cake! I made one today and it was totally a hit! Thank you for generously sharing your recipes! Love them!
I'm so happy to hear your Black Forest Cake turned out well!! :D
Hi kurt can we use honey as an alternative for corn syrup?
Hello - you can use just honey. I'd say 1/4 cup of honey should be enough (no need to add that extra 2 tbsp). Hope this helps! :)
Thats tira -tira candy during the 80's
Hi kurt, this cake looks so delicious and i cant wait to make it myself. I have one question though, the hot coffee with unsweetened cocoa powder, did you use instant coffee and how much instant coffee used? Thanks so much. More power to your channel.
Hi Maricel - for the coffee, you can just make coffee however you normally make it for drinking. I use a Keurig machine, so I just use 1 Keurig pod which makes a maximum of 1.5 cups of liquid coffee - and I use 3/4 cup of that. Because I use a Keurig machine, I cannot control how strong my coffee is.
If you use instant coffee (like Maxwell House brand for example), just mix 2 tsp (or whatever the bottle recommends) of instant coffee into 3.4 cup of boiling water, mix it in. The strength of the liquid coffee won’t have too much of an effect on the final cake. Hope this helps! :)
Thank you so much for the quick response! You are so humble and kind! I wish you all the best and your partner. Have a happy and blessed new year! 😊
@@mariceldimaano5224 Happy New Year to you too! 🥳🎉
Can I use two 8" baking pan for this recipe?
Hi Dianne - yes, you can use an 8" baking pan with this recipe. Hope this helps! :)
Wow superb! I am inspired to bake the cakes I watched from your videos. I pin it (PINTEREST) and I will bake it whenever I get a chance.

Hi kurt can I reduce the butter to 1cup?and which part can I adjust for less sugar?
Hi Grace. The ratios for this Swiss-meringue buttercream frosting are such that the frosting becomes smooth and not too sweet. If you'd like to use only 1 cup of butter, I'd suggest cutting all of the frosting ingredients in half - this will result in half the frosting, and hence half the fat/sugar intake :) Hope this helps!
Hi sir Kurt just a question I made this for the second time but not the batter after baking is a little dry?
Hi Daisy - I'd suggest decreasing your baking time to avoid the chiffon cake from drying out. Hope this helps! :)
In this recipe can i cook. It in a steamer?
Hi George, thanks for your question! Yes, you can steam the cake instead of baking. But you have to half the cooking time - so I estimate about 20 min of steaming as steaming cooks faster. Steaming also dries out the cake more, so add more vegetable oil to the wet ingredients. So 3/4 cup of vegetable oil (instead of 1/2 cup in the recipe). The flavor will also be a bit different. Baking in oven browns the chiffon cake a bit. Whereas steaming will have more of a pure flavor of chocolate/coffee. But will not have the browned rounded flavor profile. Hope this helps! 😊
Hi Kurt. Can I half the recipe and use 6" cake pans?
Hi Jhoanna - yes, you may half all the ingredients and use 6" cake pans for a smaller cake. Hope this helps! :)
Hi Kurt did you use brewed coffee?will definitely make this.Thank you for your channel i am learning a lot. More power and God Bless.I will wait for you to make mango bravo.
Hi Jenny - yes it is brewed coffee. Hope this helps! :)
Hello Kurt .. can I use instant coffee instead of brewed coffee?
Hi Reng - yes, you can definitely use instant coffee for this recipe. Just prepare hot instant coffee however you would normally for drinking, and use 3/4 cups for the wet ingredients. Hope this helps! :)
CookingwithKurt .. thanks

Can I make this in a.roll instead of round cale
Hi Gina, thanks for your question! Yes, you can make this into a roll instead. Just half the ingredients. And use a smaller pan to bake the chiffon cake. You can use the rolling technique I used in my ube roll video here: ua-cam.com/video/7pkle3lmMj8/v-deo.html
Hope this helps! :)

Hi there just wanna ask if there’s any substitute for corn syrup?
Hello - you can use just honey. I'd say 1/4 cup of honey should be enough (no need to add that extra 2 tbsp). Hope this helps! :)

Hi Kurt, how much coffee u use to make a 3/4 cup of hot coffee
Hi Evelyn. For the coffee, you can just make coffee however you normally make it for drinking. I use a Keurig machine, so I just use 1 Keurig pod which makes about 1 cup of liquid coffee, and then I measure 3/4 cup of that. Because I use a Keurig machine, I cannot control how strong my coffee is.
If you use instant coffee (like Maxwell House brand for example), just mix 2-3 tsp (or whatever the bottle recommends) of instant coffee into 1 cup of boiling water, mix it in, and use 3/4 cup of this liquid coffee. And drink the rest lol 😉. The strength of the liquid coffee won’t have too much of an effect on the final cake.
