I am using a box cake mix- triple fudge chocolate– or something real yummy sounding.
I am a pro at messing up cakes & cookies – and I know baking recipes aren’t to be messed with. But it’s my husband’s birthday and I wanted to do something different…
I am going to chill the expresso to room temperature because I can forsee that it would ruin the eggs if hot… other than that- I would assume expresso is the same as water other than the taste… ???
Any advice or warnings would be appreciated… and I guess if the cake is ruined I could go pick up a tiramisu or something for him.
We both LOVE coffee so I can’t imagine it would be anything near strong for us & I know chocolate and coffee compliment eachother…. I also figured I could get a fudge frosting or something if the cake isn’t sweet enough… but I don’t know why it wouldn’t be since the mix probably is full of sweetness.
Thank you!!

I can make them crispy, but they keep going flat when baked. They don’t stay high in a mound like the original Famous Amos.
Any ideas? Btw, I don’t believe in the recipes circulating on the internet that he used bisquick, or instant coffee, or powdered milk, or cocoa of all things.

It was made from an Italian recipe somewhere in Burnaby, and they used to have the Chinotto and this less-strong soda called Brio. Anyone know where I can find in Victoria, or perhaps Vancouver? Thanks.

Hi,
I would love a starbucks recipe “clone” I love the java chip and the pumpkin spice frappaccino. I also love the peppermint mocha. But I have realized over trial and error that peppermint oil and melted candycanes don’t give quite the same flavor. Any advice? Also the recipe for their scones and cupcakes and thier polar bear cookies would be awesome, (I really want to know what kind of icing the use, I attacvhed a pic of one. Maybe a n experienced baker will know what kind of icing it is.http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3021/3103… <—- that is the cookies picture
Thanks everyone!
