Blend the eggs, cocoa, instant coffee, baking powder, sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, flour, milk, and semi-sweet chocolate until fully integrated. If necessary, divide the mixture into two parts to achieve better integration of the ingredients. The mixture will be ready once there are no lumps and it is uniform.
Pour the cake mixture into a round mold measuring 21 centimeters in diameter and 8 centimeters high, previously greased. Bake the cake at 180 °C for 70 minutes or until it is well cooked. You will know the cake is ready when you insert a wooden toothpick in the center and it comes out clean. Once ready, unmold, cool on a rack, and set aside.
For the syrup: Heat the water with the coffee and sugar in a pot over medium heat, then mix and cook for 25 minutes to form a syrup with a thick consistency. Once the syrup is ready, pour in the brandy, mix, remove from heat, and cool. Set aside until use.
Prepare the frosting while the cake is in the oven. Whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar with a handheld electric mixer; once it doubles in size and has a firm consistency, divide the mixture into two parts. Then, take one part and divide it again; that is, you should obtain 3 parts (the 2 smaller portions will be used for filling).Color ¼ of a part with instant coffee, but sift it first with a strainer and integrate gently. Repeat the same step with the cocoa. Set aside.
Once the cake is cool, cut it into 3 equal parts.Assemble your cake: place one piece of cake, soak with the brandy syrup, and cover with the coffee frosting; repeat the same step with the second cake, but now fill it with the cocoa frosting. Place the last cake and cover with the white frosting, using a spatula. Add more frosting on the surface and create irregular waves with a spoon; remember that it doesn't have to be perfect. Once finished, pour more brandy syrup and refrigerate for a few minutes.Serve the drunken moka cake well chilled and if desired, you can pour more brandy syrup.
