Mocha Chip Chiffon Cake (S ource: Maida Heatter's Cakes (Andrews & McMeel Publishing, 2011 ed. , pg. 46-47). After a long hiatus, I think I am ready to get back in the kitchen and back to some Maida Heatter recipes! The weather here is rainy and cooler which spurs me on. I had bookmarked this recipe a long time ago - it is a very light cake (similar to an Angel Food cake) with a wonderfully subtle hint of coffee flavor. Overall, it turned out wonderfully well. One thing I would do differently next time is to chop the chocolate much finer. As she explained in her recipe, the chocolate chips will sink to the bottom if they are too heavy. I decided to use ready-made chocolate chips and they are too heavy. I did chop them a bit but next time I will use a chocolate baking bar instead. That minor flub did not affect the taste of the cake though. 3 oz. semi-sweet chocolate 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar 1 TBS. instant coffee or espresso...
