Hi Nitza,
Sorry, I cannot find any mention at all of a chocolate mocha cake served at a Darryl's Restaurant in North Carolina. I found some menus for restaurants with the name "Darryl's", but none of them had a dessert called "chocolate mocha cake." There appears to have been a "Darryl's Restaurant" chain at one time, but it apparently closed years ago. These are the NC restaurants with that name that I found:
Darryl's Wood Fired Grill - Greensboro
Darryl's BBQ - Rockwell
Darryl's Seafood Restaurant - Manteo
Darryl's Restaurant - Raleigh
You didn't state a particular city.
There are several "chocolate mocha cake" recipes on the web, but I have no way to determine if any of them might be similar to the one you ask about.
I'll post this for reader input.

In order to provide you with more information, I went online to see which Darryl’s was the chain of which I wrote. Turns out, it IS the “Wood Fired” one in Greensboro and it is still open. So...I was able to glance at their menu, found the name of the cake (see above) and lo and behold someone has recreated the recipe. I am including the link for you to share on your page. If you read the comments, you will see that many have the same fond birthday celebration memories of this cake as me! Cappuccino Cake Thank you for running this page - it is a gem! Nitza
Hi Nitza,
