Method
- 1
First, watch the instruction video for making mocha squares:
- 2
Whip the room-temperature eggs and sugar into a thick, pale foam.
- 3
Melt the butter in a saucepan or microwave. Add the cold milk to the melted butter so that it cools down appropriately.
- 4
Combine the dry ingredients.
- 5
Mix the butter-milk mixture and the sifted dry ingredients into the egg-sugar foam. Stir gently with a spatula until smooth.
- 6
Pour onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, size approx. 30 x 40 cm.
- 7
Bake in the center of the oven at 200 degrees for approx. 15 min. Allow to cool before frosting.
- 8
Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the coffee. Sift the other ingredients through a sieve. Mix until smooth. Pour the slightly warm frosting onto the center of the base. (When hot, the frosting is too runny to spread and will soak into the base. As the frosting cools, it thickens to the right consistency.) Let it run towards the edges. Spread to the edges with a spatula if necessary. Decorate with sprinkles before the frosting hardens. Cut into 24–30 squares.
