Preparation

  • the pecan layer:
    Butter the bottom and sides of a 10-inch spring form pan.

    The chocolate fudge layer:
    Melt chocolate and cream over a double boiler. Stir in the butter and corn syrup. Transfer mixture to a bowl.
    Allow to cool, then spread over the pecan layer. Cover and refrigerate for an hour.

    The mocha layer:
    Combine eggs, sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan. Whisk over medium heat until thick and bubbly.
    Remove from heat. Add the chocolate, and stir to melt. Dissolve the coffee in a tablespoon of hot water.
    Add to the chocolate mixture. Blend in the butter. Spread mixture over the fudge layer. Cover and refrigerate for an hour or until very firm.

    Frosting:
    Whip the cream with the instant pudding until thick and firm. Gradually mix in the confectioner's sugar.
    Dissolve the coffee in a tbsp of hot water. Cool coffee and blend in the whipped cream.

    Remove the sides of the spring form. Frost the sides of torte with the mocha cream. Using a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip (such as ateco #4), pipe the remaining whipped mocha cream over the cake. Decorate with chocolate coffee beans
