As you can tell, I have a lot of time on my hands at the moment so am making lots of cakes :). The only problem with this is they need eating too...
These seemed to be very simple to make - mix up a batch of normal batter and then halve it and make half into a coffee mixture using 1tsp boiling water to 2tsp coffee granules (suggested that you use espresso, but i just used instant granules), then make the marbled effect like you would normally, with a knife. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar and bake - the cinnamon and sugar made a nice addition to the taste.
Now I'd expect the two different mixtures to rise and bake roughly similarly.. however they didn't. And this is the result -

I will have to try these cakes again to see if i can stop that from happening (what a shame I hear you cry), but these are definitely ones I'll make more regularly, especially as most of my friends aren't that keen on coffee cakes :D
I want to make some honey cupcakes soon, and the recipe says to put Chocolate Bees on top of the frosting (and it looks good). Anyone know where I could buy these on the highstreet?
I found them on the internet, they look like this:
