This literal coffee cake is flavored with fresh brewed coffee, instant coffee powder, and coffee extract making it a true Coffee Coffee Cake.
Jolene of Jolene's Recipe Journal invited us to join her in celebrating by sharing a recipe with our readers. Let's see what everyone baked up..........
I donated my cake to the Parish Fish Fry and, based on the fact that there was nary a slice left, I think it was a hit.
The weather has finally started warming up again and I have been taking my walks outside instead of on the treadmill. I downloaded an audible short story and listened as I strode. This short story was free to Kindle Unlimited members.
It is a cute story mother/daughter relationships. The story is told by the daughter who laments that her mother is not only evil, but single, strict and a witch. Literally....she's a witch just like my Coffee Cake is literally a Coffee Cake.
Being raised by a single mother in the 1950's is hard enough but when that mother is a witch....well, you can only imagine the whispers of crazy that flew around the school and neighborhood.
Most of the novel was set in the kitchen where the mom was always whipping up recipes, both of food and potions, to share with the neighbors. Since I came home and whipped up this cake to share with my community I thought it was worth sharing the book with you as well. Stop by Foodies Read and see what others are reading this month.
