These cakes were definitely a stretch for me. They were complex and took several hours to prep. They did get good reviews from my taste tester, Quinn, but I was a bit harsher on them. I think the more I bake the more critical I am on the treats. Quinn gave them a 9/10 and I think they came in at a 7/10. I was expecting them to have a sponge like texture and in reality they had a bread like consistency.
The frosting was my favorite part though! It was a really rich espresso icing. I absolutely love espresso so it make sense that I would enjoy the frosting so much. I will warn you and say be careful what time of day you eat these because of the caffeine. They are well suited to pair with your morning coffee or afternoon tea. We all need that pick me up around 2 PM and these will do the trick. Here is the link for my latest video, vlog #13. Comments are closed.
