Vegan Mochaccino Cake (Crunchy, Creamy & Decadent) | Delia.v Life

Coffee + Chocolate + Hazelnut + Vanilla + Coconut = Party in the mouth. No seriously, this is like all your favourite latte flavours combined together! We love everything about this, from the crunchy hazelnut base to the creamy coffee mousse - every mouth of this is pure luxury.

Usually mousse cake requires gelatine as a firming agent but ever since we knew how gelatine came about (skin, tendons, ligaments, and/or bones from cows and pigs? No thanks.), we consciously avoid products made with them. Well it isn't easy since they are in almost everything especially the fluffy and light mousse cakes which used to be our favourite. Thank god for food experiments and perseverence though, we managed to make a delectable Vegan mousse cake that will fool any non-vegans!

Our non-vegan family and friends were so surprised that this is vegan that they asked a few times just to make sure. Well, go on and try this recipe and you can be the judge of it ;)
