What do you do when you have Zero Milk, Zero Eggs, and not much of anything else either? Thanks to the internet, Pinterest and a little imagination, I say, Let’s Eat Cake!
I prepared this
dual recipe cake with the following ingredients.
For the Cake:
3 cups of all-purpose flour
2 cups of white sugar
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
12 ounces of strong coffee previously brewed (we fresh roast our own coffee beans, and this time we had just ground and brewed a pot of Kenyan Coffee)
2-sticks of REAL BUTTER
New York Coffee Kenyan AA Peaberry Coffee Beans 5lb Bag
For the Icing:
1/3 cup of REAL BUTTER
½ cup of white sugar
3 tablespoons of Strong Coffee previously brewed
I threw the cake all together mixing well with mixer, poured the batter into a 9x11 pan, placed it in a cold oven, set the temperature to 350 degrees and baked for 30 minutes.
Once the cake came out of the oven, I poked holes with a straw from one of the grandkids cups. I blew the cake out of the straw onto the counter that had gone up the straw from the holes that I made, and had my first sampling…yummy tube cake!
I then heated the ingredients for the Icing together on the stove, making sure that everything combined well.
I tried not to let it come to a boil, but I got busy and it was boiling pretty well on one side of the pan.
I poured the icing over the top of the cake making sure to fill each hole up to the top at least once.
I sprinkled decorator’s sugar crystals to brighten it up, and we have now eaten about half that puppy!
