Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Last year my daughter and I made a mocha cake with mocha frosting for one of her friends birthday's, she read the amount of instant coffee to add to the frosting instead of 3 tsp we added 3 TBS it was very coffee flavored.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 You have to try this one delicious recipe. It is an old family favorite on my dh's side, and it is out of this world. Using soy milk I can make this vegan, too. Tropical Mystery Sift all of these dry ingredients together in one bowl: 3/4 cup sugar 1 cup all-purpose flour 2 tsp baking powder 1/8 tsp salt 1 tsp ground cinnamon 1/2 tsp ground allspice 1/8 tsp ground cloves 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg In a small bowl, combine these next three ingredients: 3 Tbs vegetable oil 1/2 cup soy milk 1 tsp vanilla extract Make a well in the dry ingredients and then pour the soy milk mixture into it; blend with a fork until smooth. Pour this into an ungreased 8 inch square baking pan. Mix together this topping and sprinkle over the batter: 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup sugar 4 Tbs cocoa powder Pour 1 cup of very hot coffee over the top of everything and bake at 350 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes. The coffee bakes down through the powdery sugar cocoa layer and pulls it below the cake batter to make a smooth and rich mocha pudding underneath the spice cake. So out of this world good even if you don't like coffee. ~ PT ~ Music is the _expression of harmony in sound.

I've yet to try these self-pudding-creating recipes where you dump liquid on top of everything else. I should.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 That does sound really good, although chocolate would make it even better. I do like spice cake/cookies a lot. I might have to make this and bring it into work. I use my co-workers to test any of my baking attempts! -- Liz --- ~ PT ~ <patchouli_troll wrote: > You have to try this one delicious recipe. > It is an old family favorite on my dh's side, > and it is out of this world.
