Brew 2 shots of espresso using an espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar, and hot water until a smooth chocolate syrup is formed.
In a saucepan or using a milk frother, heat 1 cup of milk until steaming but not boiling. If using a frother, create a thin layer of foam.
Pour the prepared chocolate syrup into a large mug.
Add the espresso shots to the mug and stir until well combined.
Slowly pour the steamed milk over the espresso mixture, holding back the foam with a spoon. Gently spoon the foam on top as a final layer.
Top the latte with whipped cream and drizzle with chocolate syrup for a decorative finish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Cafe Mocha Latte!
