FAQs

### What if I don’t have whipping cream?

You can substitute with mascarpone or stabilized cream cheese mixed with a splash of milk, but the texture and richness will differ.

Can I use decaf coffee?

Yes! Use decaf instant coffee or brewed decaf; flavor remains the same, without caffeine.

How do I know when the cake is done baking?

A toothpick inserted should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Can I make this gluten-free?

Use a 1:1 gluten-free all-purpose flour blend in place of wheat flour.

Can I prepare the cake ahead?

Yes. Bake and cool the cake ahead of time, then store the unfilled cake in an airtight container for up to 2 days before filling.

Can I freeze leftovers?

Freeze the unfrosted cake layers for up to 1 month; thaw in the fridge before filling with cream.

How do I prevent the cream from deflating?

Use chilled cream and beat until just stiff peaks form. Chill the assembled cake to help the cream set.

Can I increase the coffee flavor?

Yes. Stir additional dissolved coffee into the whipped cream or brush coffee syrup over the cake slices before topping.

Is this cake suitable for layer cakes?

Absolutely. Simply slice it into two layers and use the coffee cream between layers and on top.

Can I use granulated sugar instead of powdered in the cream?

Yes, but ensure it’s fully dissolved; powdered sugar would yield a smoother finish.
