​For the frosting, make sure to follow my notes because mixture may look curdled before all of the butter is added but will come back together by the time beating is finished.
Just be patient.

​Also, make sure that the butter is softened and room temp but not melted.

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, whisk egg whites until frothy. 
  • Add cream of tartar. 
  • Gradually add 1/4 cup of sugar while beating in high speed until still stiff. Set aside.  
  • In another bowl, combine all the liquid ingredients (coffee, egg yolks and oil). Set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, coffee powder and salt.  
  • Pour-in the liquid ingredients to the flour mixture. Continue mixing until light & fluffy.
  • Using a spatula, gently fold in the egg whites mixture into the batter mixture.
  • Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth top with a spatula. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.  ( pan size can be 13 x 9 or 15 x 10 )
  • Cake is ready if toothpick inserted comes out clean. 
  • Remove from oven. ​​
​
  • Turn the cake out on a towel lightly sprinkled with powdered sugar. 
  • Slowly peel off the parchment paper. 
  • Roll the still warm cake with the towel and leave on a wire rack (with the towel on it) to cool completely. 
Note** You don't roll the towel inside the cake. You just use the towel to hold the cake and to roll it.

​PREPARE THE MOCHA FROSTING:
  • Beat the egg whites until frothy.
  • Add the salt, 1 tbsp sugar and 1 tbsp instant coffee powder.
  • Beat at  medium speed until soft peak. Set aside.
  • In a sauce pan, combine dissolved coffee and sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved.
  • Bring to a boil over moderate heat (no need to stir).
  • Boil for 2-3 minutes. 
  • Remove from heat and slowly pour hot syrup into whites, beating constantly until meringue is cool to the touch. 
 ​ ​
​​***NOTES***
  • Before proceeding, make sure meringue has cooled down.
  • Add softened butter (1 tbsp at a time), beating well after each addition until mixture is smooth.
  • ***Mixture may look curdled before all of the butter is added but will come back together by the time beating is finished.​
TIPS:
​Substitute Cake Flour: 
  • Measure out 1 cup all-purpose flour.  
  • Remove 2 tbsp of all-purpose flour and place it back in your flour canister.  
  • Replace the removed all-purpose flour with 2 tbsp cornstarch.
  • Sift flour 5 times.
​*Sifting the flour and cornstarch together will help thoroughly combine the mixture and help to lighten and aerate the flour.
​
​Baking:
  • Do not overbake or else the cake will crack when you roll it.
