TCS Bakers ~ Kahlua Infused Expresso Cake with Nutella topping

Oops a couple of days late!

Using icing sugar and room temperature butter ~

I whipped this up all by hand!

The batter smelled awesome chocolatety 

and the coffee aroma - OMG

making the full recipe

gave me all these mini cakes

I made the full recipe for the Hot Kahlua syrup

but only used a third of it

so the balance is all bottled up and into the fridge it went

above:  the largest and the smallest next to the one and only

expresso cup and saucer set left of my Noritake Bone China

dinnerset - the burglars took almost the entire set of 12 settings from our condo!

(I have a complete set for one person in my city home)

I wailed when I took them out for picture taking!

DH had the smallest cake and he did not complain!

I did reduce the sugar for the cake batter by half

and used Nutella for the glaze instead of the chocolate ganache

as suggested by Carole Walter

and it was pretty good too!
(a big tablespoon of Nutella, a splash of milk and a splash of hot water,
stir to combine)

this is our 5th recipe from
