Making Cake with Coffee

Adding a little coffee flavor to something sweet is a winner every time. Ever tried coffee flavored ice cream? Delicious.  So the next time you are baking a cake, you might want to try substituting the water in the recipe with some left over coffee from your morning brew (black coffee).  This works especially well with chocolate cake. 

To make the coffee flavor a little more intense you could mix a couple spoonfuls of instant coffee into the batter of the cake.
