cakes and coffee

People often see cakes and a cup of hot coffee as a perfect combination for tea-time, brunch, after-meal dessert or even supper. A simple chocolate cake infused with lil dash of coffee or mocha flavour definitely brings something special out of the cake. The aroma, the scent, the contrast effect it gives to the sweetness of the cake...hence explained why some people can get addicted to a coffee-flavoured cake :p

This is walnut dark chocolate brownies ordered by a long time supported of myHotstove..for her office gathering this morning. Recipe adapted from The Baked Brownies by Matt Lewis. Sorry i've tried to search for the softcopy inside my lappy to share it here, but unfortunately i couldnt locate it. Guess it has been deleted unintentionally. Nevertheless this recipe is surely a keeper, just google it out and try to bake at least once for ur family. They sure gonna love it! Anyway when i say adapted, it means i've done some changes to the original recipe. Especially on the sugar content...ohhhh please do keep in mind that whenever u try an English recipe, do cut down the amount of sugar by at least 1/4 or 1/2 of it...theirs are extremely sweet in most cases :p

Tqvm Tini..hope ur colleague enjoy the brownies!

 

This was ordered by my colleague Fizah, who is not a cream cheese lover for sure but really wants to try out my red velvet. Hence she told me to hv a lesser cream cheese frosting for the cake hehe. 

 

Few minutes after she picked up the cake, i got a msg from her...salam kak, masuk keta ja trus potong mkn. honestly cream cheese tue mmg sdap. hubby yg peminat tegar choc cake pun kata sedap..siap tanye fizah pndai buat tak? seems like we're hooked to ur cream cheese..mmg best!

Hehe tqvm dik for ur lovely comment. Memangla sape tak minat cream cheese sgtla rugi! ahaks

 

This is devils food chocolate orange cake with orange cream cheese frosting. Recipe adapted from the original version of devils food cake, infused with some orange flavour to give a contract effect to the chocolaty taste of the cake :)
