Mocha Cakes

I created this recipe based on a traditional Finnish mocha sheet cake that has been one of my favorites already from my childhood. These mocha cakes are a bit easier to make because like all my Mix & Bake recipes, an electric mixer is not needed!

These small Mocha Cakes are baked in a cast aluminium cake pan which makes the surface crunchy and the cakes are moist and delicious in the middle. Cover these small chocolate cakes with an easy mocha icing.
