what size pan
and how long should it cook??

Thanks!!!

Okay, everyone, you have me intriugued with all your questions. I was planning to make a batch anyway so I think I will do it tonight or tomorrow morning and I will
a) measure the amount of batter
b) make it in a cake pan (I believe a 9 inch round, but am not sure).

I promise to post my findings as soon as I have them!

 

[pdswife]

I did do it in a round cake pan...baked at 350 for 25 minutes.
Haven't cut into it yet but it sure smells good!

( didn't have a food processor so I just used a hand mixer. Worked fine)

Oh, I accidently added 1 teaspoon vanilla...and sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon before baking!

 

[LPBeier]

It does call for vanilla, did you add extra?

So Pacanis, do you have a hand mixer or a wooden spoon.

 

[pdswife]

yep, doubled the amount you listed. We're going to eat it soon.

 

[LPBeier]

Let us know what you think!

 

[pdswife]

I will!

Mayyybeee
Don't tell me a wooden spoon will do what a mixer will.... That might require effort.

 

[pdswife]

IT'S GREAT!!!!! Next time to be served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Thanks for the recipe!!!!

See, you CAN bake!
I took out the butter.... and fell asleep on the couch.

 

[pdswife]

I can bake!!!
I can bake!!!! lololol!

YUM!

Those sound so good! I'm thinking to stuff a small piece of bittersweet chocolate into the cupcake before baking, and to frost with a chocolate glaze.

 

[suziquzie]

so, I made 'em.
I added chocolate chips to make mocha cappucino cupcakes...
then frosted them with powdered sugar / cinnamon thinned with almond extract and milk.
YUMMY!!!

 

[pdswife]

Chocolate could only make them better.
Glad you enjoyed them too!

 

[LPBeier]

They like them, they really really like them!!!!!

 

[pdswife]

Yes we do!

They are goooooooooooooooooood!

 

[suziquzie]

DH asked me if I didn't like them.... because I left some for him....
duh.
can't even be nice to a guy!!!

Why does it have to be instant coffee, would regular drip coffee work?
Not that I'm looking to change the recipe. Just curious.

It is the powder you want, Pacanis, not the actual liquid coffee. But you could cut the milk down and use strong coffee if you wanted to use drip coffee.

 

[pacanis]

Yeah, I knew you meant the powder, or granules. I thought about it a little and came up with, regular coffee doesn't dissolve. Not like instant anyway.
Since I don't have either instant coffee or powdered expresso, I'm going to try to find the expresso.
