It’s my turn to bring cake to work tomorrow, I found this recipe .
I added some instant coffee but my jar slipped and I probably added too much… now I’m contemplating whether the buttercream might cover it up or whether I’m just baking a second cake and freezing this one for myself
edit:
Yeah, I definitely fucked up with the instant coffee haha
Still edible (especially with the buttercream, it’s still a 6/10 cake), but I don’t want to bring it to other people.
Made a new one instead, which this one I actually took the time to sift the baking powder and instant coffee so that it doesn’t stay in random bitter chunks
Why not cut it into squares and give it a try? If they’re fine, add frosting on the 5 sides, otherwise you can still freeze 'em.
Haha, yeah, that’s what I ended up doing! It was edible, but pretty bitter so I kept it for myself and made a second one that looks much better![](https://sopuli.xyz/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Flemmy.world%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2F6f8b3df8-4c38-4956-84aa-3672fe371da4.jpeg)
