♥ Chocolate Mocha Chiffon Cake ♥

Chocolate mocha chiffon cake! What can be better than this?

Look at those air pocket hiding in the layers! They are what make this chiffon cake so fluffy, light and souffle-like. I used decaffeinated  coffee granules in this recipe to make it more kid-friendly, but espresso would be better for your mocha morning!
