You like chocolate? Coffee? Cake? Then this treat was made for you! Mokkapalat is the name of this Finnish brownie. It is short, rich, dense, and covered with a strong mocha frosting (well, as strong as you wanna make it). According to statistics, Fins are the biggest coffee drinkers in the world, so a coffee flavoured cake is only fitting!
I had never heard of this recipe until my good friend Tommi from Oulu sent me his mom’s recipe, so thank you Tommi’s mom!
