Coffee cake

Cake…just hearing the word makes you want to eat a slice ! Anyone who denies wanting to eat a slice of home made cake is not being entirely honest with themselves,I think!!!!…apologies if I’m wrong ;)) ! Chocolate ,vanilla ,lemon , orange,pear,coffee,walnut,blueberry, pistachio,carrot,honey,ginger…..the list is truly endless ! There is nothing more welcoming to a guest or a child coming home from school,than the sight of a freshly baked cake…give me a slice of home made cake any day rather than the creamy store bought confections !
You also have the option of making it healthier,think jaggery,whole grain flours,oil,buttermilk….so much healthier without altering the taste !
After being asked for this recipe, numerous times and getting a lot of oohs and aahs over this coffee cake,I thought why not share this recipe with you…it is quite quick to make and is lovely to have at tea time or it can be dressed up and made more luscious for a special occasion…and you can reduce the amount of coffee,if you’d like it milder ! There are a lot of coffee lovers in my family,the last time I made this cake,Nov 2013(the date on the camera is inaccurate :p),I used chocolate covered roasted coffee beans as a topping(sourced abroad) and they were such a hit ! So,if you manage to chance upon white ,dark and milk chocolate coated coffee beans,do pick up some…they’re yummy !!!
