Coffee flavored cakes in a friendly tea party is one of my favorite. I must admit that I am still nurturing my skills to develop a picture perfect cake but yet on the half way. But sometimes your underdeveloped skills get blessing and you create wonder. I thought making some coffee flavored cakes and truly speaking though the cake is not that piece of beauty but it taste good. I try to keep it low fat and healthy so that all those who stay away from this sinful delight can relish a small piece. I hope you will love my coffee cake with chocolate frosting.
