- 200 ml Water
- 100 ml Sugar

Preparation
Procedure for the base
- Mix the water and egg in the mixer using the balloon whisk attachment for 1 minute on medium speed.
- Add the Mokaccino-flavored Sponge Cake mix and continue mixing until it is fully incorporated into the liquids.
- Using a spatula, scrape the mixture off the sides of the saucepan. Beat on high speed for 10 minutes.
- Pour the mixture into two 22-cm cake pans, which have been greased, and bake at 160 °C for 45 minutes. Let cool.
To assemble the cake, syrup, and frosting
- For the syrup: infuse the sugar, water, cinnamon, and anise; finally, add the amaretto. Set aside and let cool.
- For the filling or ganache: Heat 120 g of the heavy cream together with the coffee. Once it comes to a boil, add the white chocolate, cut into small pieces, and stir with a spoon or whisk. Add the second portion of heavy cream (280 g), continue stirring, and let cool for at least 3 hours. Whip the cream once the time has elapsed and set aside.
- Cut the Mokaccino sponge cake and moisten it with the syrup. Once moistened, spread the whipped coffee ganache between each layer and use it as a topping as well.
- Finally, sprinkle cocoa powder over the cake and decorate with chocolate triangles and coffee beans.
