Can you Bake with Coffee?
Coffee isn’t just for cappuccinos and espressos anymore – it can also be used in baking! While the flavor of coffee is often quite strong, it can add a real depth of flavor to cakes and other desserts. When used in small quantities, coffee can complement chocolate and other rich flavors. It can also be used to balance out sweetness, making desserts that are subtly caffeinated.
If you’re looking to experiment with coffee in your baking, start with a recipe that already includes coffee as an ingredient. This will help you to get a sense of how much coffee to use without overwhelming the other flavors in your dessert.
- First, sift together the flour, cocoa and baking powder
- Next, add butter
- Time to blend in eggs, sugar, and coffee
- Finally, beat by hand or with an electric mixer, until smooth.
- spoon into pan, smoothing the top
I used parchment paper underneath the dough to keep from sticking
- Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.
- Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then flip onto a wire rack and peel off the paper. Let cool completely.

What Herbs Go with Rosemary: A Fresh Flavor Guide
Today I’m sharing What Herbs Go with Rosemary the Best? A fresh flavor guide to help you decipher how to mix your companion plants.
