Coffee cake will delight every coffee and chocolate lover. It's the ideal blend of lightly crunchy nuts, sweet meringue, and a creamy mixture of whipped cream, mascarpone, and coffee. Each bite of this cake is a true pleasure. However, it does have one downside — it disappears from the pan suspiciously quickly.

The combination of crunchy nuts and sweet chocolate has now been transformed into a cake. The delicate cream perfectly balances the sweetness of the meringue and chocolate.

The velvety and smooth chocolate glaze is the cherry on top. It gives the cake an elegant appearance and an intense chocolate flavor.
