Brush the bases of cakes with a little of the chocolate drizzle. Brush a small amount of chocolate drizzle in the center of a serving plate (this will secure the cake to the plate). Place one of the chocolate cakes in the center of the plate. Top with some of the vanilla whipped cream. Top with the remaining cake. Top with the remaining vanilla whipped cream. Spoon over with the remaining chocolate drizzle. Sprinkle with chocolate coated coffee beans to serve
