Coffee Cake with Coffee Buttercream Icing

Ever since I saw this cake recipe on Divya's Easycooking blog, I badly wanted to try it out. Finally, last weekend I baked it!!! It was too delicious; the coffee taste of the cake, the buttercream icing, everything was just mind-blowing!!The taste still lingers on my tongue...*smiles*


Once a cake is baked, I'm never patient enough to wait for it to cool down. That is the reason you could see my icing flowing down...*smiles*...But no worries; just put it in the fridge for some time and it would set....

The 'Marble Cake' Revisited....

Remember my marble cake which I had baked looong back and which had almost turned into a chocolate cake, except for a few patches of white batter here and there.....I decided to re-try it once again on my mom's b'day which was on July 2.... Luckily, this time I managed to create a marble effect on my cake.... But, the chocolate was still dominant!!! I think I need to reduce the amount of cocoa powder used in the recipe (from 4 tbsps to 2)..... Wanna bite??? Happy Birthday Mummy So, this was my gift for my mommy on her b'day...I know she wouldn't like it...u know why???coz....coz....coz...she simply hates marble cake...hehheeehhhheee....
