TWD: Coffee Break Coffee Cake/Muffins





This recipe this week was chosen by Rhiani of Chocoholic Anonymous for Tuesday's with Dorie.

I did both the muffin version and a coffee-coffee cake version topped with chopped up Coffee Crisp chocolate bars and a simple icing drizzle.

They were definitly not mild mannered muffins/cake. They packed a jolt of bold coffee flavor studded with large chunks of rich, melty chocolate. I hardly noticed the whole wheat flour and I actually liked the little bit of extra texture the muffins had as a result of it. If you are a coffee fiend you could even add extra instant coffee powder or pure espresso rather than just brewed coffee, as I will likely do next time.

    I am always looking for recipes with Whole wheat flour, it is hard to find ones with that great flavor I love. These look so nice.

    both the muffins and cake look great! But the cake got icing too. So I guess I'll start with the cake first then the muffin later. lol. One can always dream about yummy looking food.

    Hi Tia, the muffins and cake both look great! Wanted to make this a couple of weeks ago, but somehow got sidetracked! I have Dorie's book and I think your gals are doing great with TWD. Thanks for dropping by. Have a nice day!

    What a great idea with the coffee cake - and such yummy add-ins. Hmm, would chopped up Skor bars make coffee-toffee muffins?

    Both look good, but the coffee cake with candy bars on top is really tempting!

    Wowza! I love how you reinvented this recipe. Nicely done. I really like the idea of adding chocolate and yes I think using some WWF is a great chewy idea. Like that. Cofffe Cake, superb idea. Thanks for sharing.

    These were good, even tho' I don't like coffee. I like your variation and the cake looks scrumptious.

    That coffee cake looks insanely good! This recipe is a definite keeper!

    I saw your question about my rating system a couple weeks ago. It is explained in my first post, along with a long boring story about how I started my blog: http://efforttodeliciousness.blogspot.com/2008/10/introducing-edr-and-some-apple-desserts.html
