Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Line an 8-inch (20-cm) square baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, and 6 tablespoons of melted butter until fully incorporated and the mixture looks rich and chocolaty.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan and pack down to cover the bottom of the pan in an even layer.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 325˚F (160˚C).
- Separate the eggs into two large bowls.
- Add the remaining ¾ cup (150 G) of granulated sugar to the egg yolks and whisk until pale yellow.
- Add the remaining ½ cup (115 G) of melted butter and the vanilla and mix until fully incorporated.
- Sift in the flour and ⅓ cup (40 g) of cocoa powder and mix thoroughly.
- Slowly add the milk, stirring continuously, until a very wet batter forms. Set aside.
- Beat the egg whites with an electric hand mixer until frothy. Add the cream of tartar and continue beating until medium peaks form. Whisk ⅓ of the egg whites into the egg yolk batter, then gently fold in the remaining egg whites with a rubber spatula.
- Pour the batter over the graham cracker crust and bake for 40 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center jiggles slightly. Let cool for at least 1 hour.
- In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form and the cream has doubled in volume.
- Sift in the remaining 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder and the powdered sugar and fold with a rubber spatula to incorporate.
- Invert the cooled cake onto a cutting board. Remove the parchment paper and flip the cake again so the graham cracker crust is on the bottom.
- Spread the chocolate whipped cream onto the cake.
- Slice and serve.
- Enjoy!

FOUR-LAYER MOCHA CREAM CAKE
A mocha whipped cream filling rests between four layers of rich, moist chocolate cake. This lovely, decadent dessert is much easier to prepare than it sounds! You can eat it right away, but it tastes better chilled. Decorate with shaved chocolate if desired. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and line two 9-inch cake pans with parchment paper.
- Beat sugar and butter for cake together in a bowl with an electric mixer until creamy; add eggs and beat until pale in color.
- Mix 1 cup boiling water and cocoa powder together in a separate bowl. Mix into the sugar mixture. Combine baking soda with remaining boiling water and add to the batter. Mix in flour and baking powder until just combined. Pour evenly into the prepared pans.
