Am I being dim?

Is it me? I can't find any reference to 'Coffee' I added an espresso powder the tube with the topping for good measure. Worked fine

Coffee cake is a treat intended to be eaten with coffee

Well, the cake turned out fine ( with my addition of espresso powder ) and it's given us all a good laugh so it was worth the post I think Eh Guys?

It's like the teacake which features around my neck of the woods. No tea involved in its making (except for the cook to drink while she's waiting for the teacake to be ready) and it's not a cake at all. It's a yeasted bread roll thing like a bap or a muffin (English variety) which you slice open and toast (optional) and eat with butter and possibly jam!

Or what my mother used to call mock goose which was a stuffed and baked vegetable marrow which had never been near a goose.

I've always assumed "coffee cake" was to be eaten when drinking coffee. In fact some coffee cake makes me thirsty for coffee.

Thank you for the laugh Menumaker. You just may have created a new recipe. In answer to your question, we all are dim at sometime or other. My favorite word of late has become "Huh?"

I keep re-reading this thread, it still makes me giggle.

To someone who doesn't live here, of course coffee cake would contain coffee, and tea cake tea. Why else would they name them that?

Ditto here Dawg. It is funny. Right up there with Cat's reply to toilet paper. Everytime I think of that I start laughing all over again.

Now I've got the giggles again...and it's your fault, Addie.

You are not alone. I can't stopp giggling either.

About that doughnut recipe, try this. The doughnuts are crazy good.

Idaho Spudnuts Recipe | Taste of Home

I would switch out the canola oil with sunflower, or vegetable oil. But that's just me. I also won't purchase Eggland's Best eggs as they are pricey, and I have a friend who has chickens. I purchase my eggs from her and her husband. Other than that, the recipe is phenominal. Make a couple of dipping sauces for the spudnuts, the classic milk and powdered sugar, butterscotch (milk, brown sugar, salt, and vanilla), maybe a chocolate sauce (milk and powdered sugar with cocoa powder), and any other flavor you might enjoy. You can even combine sugar and cinnamon, and dip the spudnuts in that.

Now you have a doughnut recipe.
