Cake:
6 egg whites
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups ground pecans
6 egg yolks
2/3 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon instant coffee granules
Mocha Cream Filling and Frosting:
1 teaspoon instant coffee powder
1 tablespoon boiling water
2 cups heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons white sugar
1/2 cup pecan halves for garnish

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 8-inch round cake pans.
2
Beat egg whites in mixing bowl until medium-stiff peaks form; set aside. Sift together flour and cocoa powder; whisk in ground pecans and set aside.
3
In a separate bowl, beat egg yolks; mix in 2/3 cup sugar, vanilla, and 1/2 teaspoon instant coffee granules and beat well. Fold yolk mixture into egg whites. Gently fold in flour, cocoa, and pecan mixture. Spread batter into prepared pans.
4
Bake in preheated oven until cake springs back when lightly touched with a finger and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Let cakes cool slightly, then remove from pans to cool completely on wire racks.
5
To Make Mocha Cream: Dissolve 1 tablespoon coffee granules in boiling water. Cool. Beat whipping cream and 2 tablespoons of sugar together in a cold mixing bowl until stiff. Mix in cooled coffee.
6
Fill and frost cake with Mocha Cream and garnish with pecan halves. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
