Method

1
Whip the room-temperature eggs and sugar into a fluffy foam.
2
Combine the dry ingredients. Melt the butter.
3
Gently fold the dry ingredients, melted butter, and milk alternately into the egg-sugar foam. Do not overmix.
4
Spread the batter onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Bake in the oven at 200 °C for about 20 minutes.
5
Prepare the frosting. Measure the ingredients into a saucepan. Heat while stirring until the butter has melted and the mixture is smooth. Let cool for a moment. Pour over the cake base, starting from the center. If desired, save about 1/2 dl of the frosting for decorative stripes.
6
Allow the frosting to set in the refrigerator, covered. Drizzle the remaining frosting in stripes over the surface. If the frosting has already set, warm it up slightly. Cut the mocha squares into individual portions.
