This Chocolate Coffee Cake is a decadent dessert that blends deep cocoa richness with the bold aroma of coffee. Soft, moist, and perfectly balanced in sweetness, the cake batter is infused with instant coffee and cocoa, creating a layered flavor that feels indulgent without being overly heavy. Simple pantry ingredients come together to form a tender crumb, while the coffee undertone enhances the chocolate for a sophisticated, café-style taste. It’s the kind of cake that pairs beautifully with an afternoon espresso or becomes a standout treat for special gatherings.
What truly sets this dessert apart is its luxurious Lotus cream coffee topping. Cooked into a smooth, custard-like frosting, the mixture of milk, coffee, cream cheese, and caramelized Lotus Biscoff spread creates a silky finish with a hint of caramel warmth. Spread generously over the cooled cake, it forms a glossy layer that complements the rich base beneath it. The result is a dessert that’s equal parts comforting and elegant — a perfect harmony of chocolate, coffee, and creamy sweetness in every slice.
