Sweet Clementine Buttercream Cake

By: Linda Bonwill - World Class Cooking

Take The Cake! Winner, winner, coffee spinner!
Put a twist to the traditional basic cake mix. Substitute coffee in place of liquid which is called for in a simple cake recipe.
We added a bit of the newest flavor, Sweet Clementine coffee, and turned a basic cake into the most decadent and delicious dessert. The icing is buttery, creamy, and zesty and pairs so well with the robust flavor of this unique cake. Everyone will think it came from a professional bakery, but we won't tell if you don't.
