Calling all you chocolate lovers out there!  I’ve got a treat for you!  This easy Double Mocha Poke Cake is an easy recipe you want to have in your stash.  I made it last week when we had some friends over for dinner.  It’s about time I’m posting a new dessert recipe on here.  I am a dessert-aholic, but you probably can’t tell by the lack of desserts I’ve posted over the past year.  I’m so happy to be sharing a new one with you!

This one has the deep mocha flavor in both the cake and the icing.  The expresso powder brings out the flavor of the chocolate and gives it this richness that is oh so good!  I pretty much put expresso powder in just about every chocolate dessert I make now because I love the flavor so much.  (I use this expresso powder.  I find it at my grocery store, but you can also order it here.)

Speaking of being obsessed with mocha flavor.  I’m also obsessed with these mocha k-cups too.  I like to have one at night after the kids go to bed.  I’ll grab one of those and relax with my favorite book or my favorite tv show.  Lately, I’m all about the books.  I read Crazy Rich Asians last week, and now I’m reading the sequel China Rich Girlfriend.  It’s not my typical book.  It kind of reminds me of a Real Housewives with a little Downton Abbey mixed in set in Singapore.  Very different from my usual.  But I love the story with a few little twists and turns mixed in there.

So this cake is also special because it is soaked with sweetened condensed milk i.e. liquid gold.  🙂  Let it set up in the refrigerator for a little while because it makes a great refrigerator cake with a cold glass of milk! One bite of this cake, and I’m sure you’ll be all about the mocha flavor too!
