Cappuccino Cake

Our neighbor in Nashville brought this cake to a cookout.  It has since become one of my favorite dessert recipes.  It seems to be a hit with coffee drinkers and non-coffee drinkers alike. Just a tasty little treat, or one step closer to total global coffee dependence?

Cake:
Yellow or white cake mix
3 tsp. instant coffee
Follow the directions on the cake mix, diluting the coffee in the liquid.  Grease and flour pan.  Bake at 350ยบ for 35-40 minutes.  Poke holes in cake while hot.  


Topping:

1 TBS water

2 tsp. instant coffee

1 can condensed milk

Mix well, in order, and pour over cake while hot.


Finishing Touch:

Top with 

whipped cream

cinnamon

chocolate shavings.
