This great boiled chocolate coffee cake is moist and delicious and so easy to make. It just takes one pot

I look forward to posting this peek into my kitchen each month. The drawback is that it seems to make the month seem shorter, because it  comes around so fast each time. So here are some of the things in my kitchen

I have this delicious boiled one pot chocolate coffee cake, made from coffee that was sent to me. This cake recipe has made a number of appearances since I discovered I liked it, more here 

Puro Coffee

Puro Coffee

“Puro” coffee has taken my fancy. Coffee is the second most traded commodity in the world today, so I am glad there are some companies thinking about the animals displaced in the forests. Puro donate money from sales to projects in Ecuador, Columbia and Peru working alongside “The World Land Trust” boasting David Attenborough as a patron. This is organic, fairtrade, shade grown coffee. I will be back with more information, tasting notes and where you can buy any of the three blends in Australia.

Laverbread

Laverbread

Has anybody seen this before.  A very odd name for a can of seaweed, don’t you think?. This is a traditional Welsh treat served apparently “all over the place” with eggs, on toast and I am sure in a multitude of other ways.  It is decidedly fishy and quite unpleasant, in my opinion anyway……It was given to me by my friends who have just returned from a visit to Wales

Becalau peeler

This little beauty was given to me by my friends at Beclau. I love it because you can peel parmesan, make carrot and zucchini ribbon, peel pumpkin……..oh it’s a genius.  Find it at beclau

    Well now, that takes the cake! (And lends a whole new meaning to the term, “coffee cake!”) Tania, I love your liberal doses of coffee in this recipe. I also think your versatile side-handled grater is something every cook needs. 🙂

    Hi Tania, your photos are excellent and the colour of your cake is beautiful, reminds me of a dark Guinness cake.

    I’m sipping a coffee at the moment and it’s looking decidedly naked without a big wedge of your coffee cake.
    And laverbread, I haven’t heard of but am absolutely intrigued.
