Background of my amazing cake

When I was 10 I had this cake for my birthday made by my dad and it was SO delicious. I remembered all the steps and ingredients that were needed to create this masterpiece and I made it but it was a little different than It was before because I used regular espresso powder and not kingdom coffee's espresso powder which is richer and leaves a coffee taste simmering in your mouth. I shoudlve tooken it litterally when he said that the espresso powder was "Special in ways you cannot understand by explanation!!"
