In search of Coffee Cake recipe with Coffee and no chocolate
Ada
I am looking for a coffee cake recipe which has a good amount
of coffee in it and no chocolate or cocoa in the ingredient lists.
Does anyone have one? Thanks.
Ada
P.S. I am making this for someone's b-day which is coming up in the weekend.

Are you looking for a coffee flavored butter cake? The term "coffee cake"
is used most often for either quick breads or yeast breads that are eaten
for breakfast or a snack.
If no one posts a recipe for a coffee flavored butter cake, you might add
some instant coffee powder to a standard cake recipe or box mix. A
tablespoon of instant coffee should be enough. You could also replace all
or part of the liquid in a recipe with very strong brewed coffee. An
alternative might be tiramisu. Here is a link to a page of tiramisu
recipes.

strong brewed coffee sounds like a good idea. Tiramisu is out since I want it to
at least resemble a b-day cake. (tiramisu is so yummy though)

It contains coffee, but it also has a few tablespoons of cocoa powder in
it.

You know, I'd like to find a good cake that uses REAL espresso, or at
least [finely] ground coffee beans. Instant espresso is horrid stuff. I
roast my own coffee, and would like to expand my use for it.
