Make cake mix, use 3 pans.

Divide 2/3 of batter between 2 pans.

Stir instant coffee into remaining 1/3. (I did not do this. Depends on how strong one wants the coffee flavor to be.)

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely. In a measuring cup, combined brewed coffee, and 1 tablespoon coffee liqueur; set aside.

To make the filling: in a small bowl, using an electric mixer, set on low speed, combine mascarpone, half cup of confectioners, sugar, and 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur; beat just until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.

To make the frosting: in a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, set on medium high speed, beat the cream, 1/4 cup confectioners, sugar and 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur until stiff. Fold half cup of cream mixture into filling mixture.

To assemble the cake: place one plain cake layer on a serving plate. Using a thin skewer, poke holes in cake, about 1 inch apart. Pour 1/3 of reserved coffee mixture over cake, then spread with half of the filling mixture. Top with coffee flavoured cake layer. Poke holes and cake. Poor remaining coffee mixture on top. Spread sides and top of cake with frosting. Place cocoa in a sieve and lightly dust top of cake. Garnished with chocolate curls. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving.

To make the chocolate curls, use a vegetable peeler and run it down the edge of the chocolate bar.
