A Simple Mocha (Week 4)

 

Ingredients:

• 2 cups coffee 
• 1/3 cup cocoa 
• 2 cups milk      
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 
• 1/2 cup whipping cream 
• dash cinnamon 

Preparation:

Mix cocoa, sugar, coffee and milk in a sauce pan. Heat, over medium heat constantly stirring, until simmering.

Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.

Pour into cups, top with whipped cream and cinnamon.

Makes 4 Servings.

 

This was a very simple drink that I usually make in my dorm room because it is so simple (but I use milk instead of whipping cream). I liked this recipe out of several others that I found because it had the cinnamon included. It was good, but not as interesting as other drinks I have made 2/5.

Coffee Cake

I found this recipe, it was one of the simplier ones that I found. This is an easy streusel coffee cake, baked in a square or round layer-cake pan.

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

• Topping:
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup sifted all-purpose flour (sift before measuring)
• 1/4 cup butter, room temperature
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• Cake:
• 1 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour (sift before measuring)
• 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg, beaten
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup melted butter
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation:

Topping. In small mixing bowl, combine topping ingredients. Blend with fork until crumbly. Set aside.

Sift 1 1/2 cups sifted flour with baking powder and salt into a bowl. In a medium bowl, beat together beaten egg and 3/4 cup sugar and 1/3 cup melted butter. Add milk and vanilla. Stir in flour mixture and mix well.

Pour batter into a greased and floured 8-inch square or 9-inch layer-cake pan. Sprinkle topping crumb mixture evenly over batter. Bake at 375° for 25 to 30 minutes, or until cake tests done. Partially cool in pan on wire rack. Cut coffee cake into squares while still warm. This is an easy streusel coffee cake, baked in a square or round layer-cake pan.
