Mocha Ice Box Cake


Blast from the past and when flour is difficult to source, this may be the answer to satisfy your cake cravings.

Here is a wonderfully simple dessert idea from mid-century Americana. Icebox Cake traditionally made with multi-layered cookies and whipped cream and allowed to set 24 hours.  I had heard about Icebox Cake from my childhood and being the offspring of immigrants I had no idea what it was.  My first attempt was for Father's Day weekend and this recipe was perfect with one tiny exception, the recipe calls for 8-inch springform cake pan and five layers.  I used a 10-inch pan and built three layers.  Thanks to Ina Garten, The Barefoot Contessa, she revved up the flavor to give it a distinctly European flavor thanks to the coffee liquor.  BTW-Day two after assembly is even better.
