Delectable Mocha Cake

What is it with mocha that makes us just love it? I know of someone who says he loves this cake flavor among all others. But hey, he ain’t a coffee lover and yet he loves mocha cake. :) Basically, the main ingrediendt there is coffee. Coffee and chocolate makes the mocha flavor come to life. :)

And so I say to him, “You don’t know that it’s actually a mix of chocolate and mocha?”

Bewildered. :)
