When the cakes have fully cooled, cut off the top so you have two equally high pieces. Add more powdered sugar or coffee, depending on how sweet or strong you want the cream. If the mixture curdles, slowly melt a quarter of the mixture and return it to the bowl: give it a good whipping and the buttercream will come together. In the meantime, cream the 2 sticks of butter with the powdered sugar, the coffee syrup and the vanilla for a good five minutes at high speed, you want that butter fluffy! Slowly pour in the heavy cream while you continue to whip: the buttercream will increase in volume and become a little lighter. Let the cake cool for ten minutes, then carefully remove it from the pan, and let it cool further on a cookie rack. If a toothpick comes out clean, the cake is ready. Bake for twenty five minutes or until done. Place on the middle shelf in an oven that's preheated to 350F. Butter and flour two 9 inch cake pans, and carefully divide the mixture between the two pans. Sift the cake flour and fold it through the mixture, making sure you don't lose much of the air you've beaten into it. Whip the eggs and the yolks with the sugar and the vanilla for a good ten minutes at high speed, or until the mixture is light yellow, has tripled in size and falls in a thick ribbon off the whip. This is an incredibly rich cake, and will take a little bit of effort to make, but it will be sooooo worth it! Easily one of the most favorite choices of the cake-loving Dutch, a mocca cake combines the pleasant flavors of sweet sugar, slightly bitter caffeine and the lightness of the sponge cake.

Good weather, bad weather, the soccer team won, the soccer team lost, start of the summer holiday, the end of the summer holiday, and any valid reason inbetween. Oh, how we love to party! Any good old reason to crank up the coffee machine, bring out the coffee mugs, the creamer and sugar and a couple of pretty plates to serve pastries on, will do.
