LMSC I can see you are spending most of your time baking and cooking than coffee!

No, as I make coffee every day. But it’s never exciting, good enough to take pictures of compared to the beverages you Java experts with your highfalutin sparkling chrome beasts can make….me jealous?🤐

DavecUK I hope you don’t throw away the ganache that’s rolled off the sides of the cake…mmm

Not in a million years. It gets scooped up and thrown on the plate too. That’s why I made a foil tray to catch it all as opposed to letting it drip through a wire rack then thrown away. As they say, up top for thinkin’ down below for dancin’😉

CoyoteOldMan And it’s not even coffee cake! 🤦‍♂️

First attempt so didn’t want to risk wasting good coffee. Now I can see it works, the coffee variety will be next.😋

    Pompeyexile The Hoffman recipe for coffee cake works nicely. I made a couple of changes that improve it IMHO; if you don’t want to buy the glycerol monostearate, happy to send you 12 grams (2 cakes) via post, as I did buy 200 grams…

      Hi CoyoteOldMan,

      Thanks for the offer it is really appreciated, but I had already bought a 100g pack in readiness of baking Mr Hoffman’s cake.

      Elcarajillo You do a lot of spanish food it seems and your name on the forum is a spanish coffee; ¿eres español?

      Solidly English, always interested in good food. My wife’s school friend married a Catalan, he has introduced and educated us in Catalan / Spanish food, drink and customs, his wife bought me a small cookbook which set me off in this direction. We enjoy the variety of Spanish food and the way they mix unusual ingredients and the results.

      We do tend to eat more Spanish style than English but do include other countries foods as well.

      Who can do without a curry ??😄

      PSI am partial to the odd carajillo😉

      Think I prefer a side of fish, to much fussing getting the bones out
