Description

This chocolate poppy seed cake with mocha is an absolute eye-catcher on any coffee table! The combination of moist chocolate base, delicate poppy seed filling, and creamy mocha ganache is simply irresistible. I especially like to bake this cake in winter, when you want to get cozy with a cup of coffee or cocoa. Preparation with the Thermomix® is very easy and guaranteed to succeed. A recipe that is always well received by friends and family!
