Coffee Infused Sponge Cake and Art!


I love and cake and coffee so why not combine the two? so I made a simple sponge cake and added a cup of coffee to the batter, it stuck a little to the bottom maybe too much coffee but it infused a wonderful coffee flavor and was oh so moist.





Ingredients:

  • 1/2-1 cup of your favorite coffee
  • 4 oz of self raising flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 oz of sugar
  • 4 oz of butter 
  • caster sugar for dusting
Method:

  1.  cream the butter and the sugar until light and fluffy 
  2. then add the eggs and coffee and slowly fold in the flour
  3. bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes


We went to a restaurant downtown today then visited a local art gallery little Jasmine enjoyed the cat and looking at all the paintings you may be surprised galleries are actually pretty interesting for toddlers :-)

Have a wonderful weekend everyone

  2. The cake does look super fluffy and moist. It's probably great with a cup of coffee as well. If you're not coffee'd out by then. :)

  38. I wish hubby liked coffee flavored desserts, but he does not even like the smell, so I avoid it, but this sounds fantastic!

    I always encourage art and youngsters, even reading groups at the library then walk around and look at the art with them!

    I am sure she is a fantastic artist herself, and is she enjoying the music tape still?
