CHOCOLATE ESPRESSO COFFEE CAKE
Without sounding like a broken record, I super-heart coffee cake! Every time I create one for you guys I get so excited and this Espresso Coffee Cake is my favorite yet. I kid you not, honestly, cross my heart!
I know I didn’t invent espresso coffee cake because I’ve realized that there is pretty much nothing unique in the interweb these days. I must admit though I’ve never seen it available in any store or coffee shop I’ve been in.
It was a comment on another one of my coffee cake posts that provided me some inspiration. The reader wanted to know why it was called coffee cake if there was no coffee in the recipe. Instead of having a “what the” moment, I realized it was a valid question and explained that coffee cake was a more of a general umbrella of cake.
Face palm…let’s get some coffee in that coffee cake stat!
Being an extreme hardcore coffee addict, I wanted my espresso coffee cake to actually taste like coffee. I made sure to mix plenty through the batter and then added crushed chocolate covered espresso beans to the surface before sending it to the oven.
White chocolate chunks also made their way into the coffee cake.
Chips would work but I’m all about the melt, and chunks are just better, trust me.
