Thank you Encouraging Hearts and Home for the feature of my Simply Cocoa Brownies. I love your kind words as always. Kathi of Simple Homestead, thank you for the warm welcome on your blog by featuring my brownies. Thank you also Andrea of A Morning Cup of Joe for the inclusion of my brownies on your list of features. Your thoughts are lovely.

I love coffee and I wont survived a day without my brewed black coffee. I normally  drink my coffee when I wake up in the morning, a mug of it as I sat on the sofa while staring out of the window for like 15 minutes.. yes, this is how I start my day. No, I am not depressed..nothing serious is going on in my brain..its just me in the morning..😍  

I have made cupcakes with coffee, muffins with coffee, cookies with coffee and cakes with coffee. Today I am sharing with you the coffee cake of my life, it smells so much of coffee and when you bite, theres a subtle taste of bitterness.. and for a change..this cake is in a bundt pan .The  glorious thing is that I decided to pour some caramel sauce..with coffee of course. Then I saw some leftover baked pecans...and into it right away. Wow! I have mentioned coffee so many times..sorry, I have deep love for coffee 😘
