Before diving into the preparation, ensure to chill a medium-sized mixing bowl for the cream filling step. Let’s go through the process of crafting the mocha ganache, espresso cream filling, and cake assembly.

Crafting the Mocha Ganache

In a small saucepan, gently heat the cream until small bubbles appear around the edges. Remove from heat and stir in espresso powder and chocolate chips. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy. Set aside to cool and thicken slightly.

Preparing the Espresso Cream Filling

Assembling the Cake

2. Cut the remaining cake vertically into 6 equal slices, about 1 ½ inches wide.
3. Cut each slice horizontally into 3 layers.
4. Place the bottom layer of each portion onto a freezer-safe platter or individual dessert plates.
5. Pipe a decorative layer of espresso cream filling over the bottom layer using a pastry bag fitted with a star tip.
6. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of toffee bits on each layer.
7. Gently place the middle layer on top of the toffee bits, being careful not to squash the decorative piping.
8. Place in the freezer for 20 minutes to set.
9. Remove from the freezer and pipe another decorative layer of mocha cream filling onto each portion.
10. Sprinkle each with another teaspoon of toffee bits.
11. Gently place the top layer of pound cake on top of the toffee bits, being careful not to squash the decorative piping.
