The best thing about a chocolate truffle cake is the various ways in which it can be presented. There are endless options to top a frosted  chocolate cake. Chocolate coated strawberries,  roasted almonds, chopped chocolates, colorful sprinkles, gems, M&M’s.  Anything you like 🙂

It’s a single bowl recipe, and the addition of instant coffee to it,  takes it to another chocolate level 😀
