Individual mocha desserts, using up the last bits of chocolate cake.

If you've ever wondered what you could make with the last few pieces of chocolate cake to feed some extra mouths (or simply oneself ofcourse), I have a solution. It started off as a bit of an experiment and turned out quite morish. All you need is those few bits of chocolate cake, some black coffee, sweetened whipped cream (just add icing sugar) and cocoa powder.

First break up the cake into chunks and layer in ramekins. Use a tablespoon to spoon over a bit of coffee till the sponge is moist but not soaking!

Now sprinkle with a bit of cocoa powder for chocolatey hit and then spoon over the whipped cream. 

Chill to allow the flavours to mingle. Dust with more cocoa powder and enjoy. A lovely mocha dessert, perfect as individual servings in ramekins or great for sharing in a trifle bowl too. You could even add a bit of a crunch with roasted toasted chopped hazelnuts. I think I may try that next time!!
