Dalgona Coffee Frosted Chocolate Cake
Yes, I successfully transformed the well-known Dalgona coffee drink into icing! As a connoisseur of coffee, I thought I could come up with anything when I made this delicious cold brew mocha and iced coffee with vanilla cream. I think I’ve finally created a frosting that tastes just like your favourite Dalgona milk drink, Dalgona coffee cake half kg price, even though it took some trial and error to get it to set atop a cupcake or sheet cake.
The basic recipe, which consists of equal portions (2 tablespoons) of instant coffee, water, and sugar, surprised me with how strong it is. When I first tried it, I believed that the intense flavour of the whipped coffee could not be subdued. I attempted to add butter, but it turned into a gooey, divided mess. I also tried adding powdered sugar, but it simply made it too sugary, almost unpalatable. Cream cheese was the magic ingredient that made all the difference for me!
What is Dalgona Coffee Cakes
Dalgona Coffee Cakes are delightful desserts inspired by the popular Dalgona coffee trend. These cakes usually have a filling of smooth coffee cream, a topping of fluffy, sweet Dalgona coffee froth, and deeply flavoured, springy, light chocolate coffee sponges. India and Pakistan gave rise to the Dalgona coffee craze, which spread to Korea and the internet in 2020.
Dalgona coffee is made by whisking equal parts water, instant coffee, and sugar together to produce a velvety foam. Afterwards, the Dalgona Coffee Cakes are frosted with this foam, giving the entire cake a strong coffee flavour. For those who enjoy coffee, the cakes are a rich and satisfying delicacy that is simple to prepare.
India’s food potential is ginormous and yet untapped
India has much more to offer in terms of food than just phaeti hui coffee. For us, the Chai Tea Latte fad is abhorrent. It’s like referring to naan as “naan bread,” and that’s unacceptable. It feels as redundant and inappropriate to me as “dal soup”—hot and strange.
As I emerge from this terrifying thought, I see that #DalgonaCake is the newest hot hashtag on Instagram. Not only is the coffee-sugar mixture seen in large quantities over cooled milk, but it’s also layered in cakes, used as icing, and spread over biscuit bases.
Thanks to the extra time during the coronavirus lockdown, this is what the internet has been up to. This is the maximum amount of indulgence or is there a silver lining?

How To Make Dalgona Coffee Cake
The craze of Dalgona Coffee has been running strong for several months. I tried it and it was really good.

4. Use the Dalgona Coffee Cream to fully frost the cake.
5. Using what chocolate chips I had, grate or pulse them, then sprinkle them over the cake and top with additional chocolate chips.
