Christopher asked for a coffee cake for his birthday cake - and coffee cake to us Brits means just that COFFEE cake lol...whereas here in Canada coffee cake is a ring shaped cake that can be any flavour that (I'm assuming) you eat with coffee!! So coffee cake here doesn't taste of coffee - it can be chocolate or blueberry or lemon etc etc (yep Canadians are weird lol!) And Chris wanted traditional coffee and walnut cake :)
Our chickens have stopped laying eggs because of the drop in temperature this week so I had to keep sending the children out to see if another one had popped out! By 2pm we finally had the 4 eggs we needed for the cake...one was so fresh it was still all warm :)
Anyway, the cake doesn't look brilliant but tastes divine...with coffee flavoured buttercream in the middle and coffee flavoured icing on top and walnut halves to decorate :) Perfect for my coffee addicted teen
Yum :)
Amazing to think I have a child old enough to get his drivers permit - his learners at least ;) We've said he can get his licence but that does NOT mean we will allow him to drive!
