I am not sure why I haven’t made this cake more often but I have just re-discovered it and I tell you what…. yep – you guessed it – it is the best! So yummy. It has a delicious coffee frosting. Just like a cake you would be served up at a fancy cafe. You are not going to be sorry you made this one my friends…
