Easy Cappuccino Dessert to Make with Coffee

Love Coffee? Today I’m sharing how to make a sweet and creamy dessert that tastes so delicious. It’s my favorite cappuccino dessert recipe.

Move over pumpkin spice, it’s time to get into the autumn spirit with a delicious cappuccino dessert! This easy recipe is perfect for coffee lovers, (or even tea lovers like me), and it takes just minutes to prepare.  Need a dessert that will wow your guests? You’ve come to the right place for a perfect dessert.  Let’s get started! 

If you’ve been following me for any length of time, you know how much I love my tea. However, big, big pause,…. lately I am craving a sip of coffee every now and again. 

You heard that right! My cappuccino dessert satisfies my craving, now even more with a cup of coffee along its side! If I get chatty, you’ll know why! 🙂 (are you like me? when I have one sip of coffee I apparently talk a lot, my hubs is like a hound dog, ‘you’ve had coffee, I can tell !’ lol)

How to Use Coffee in Baking?

Any coffee lover knows that there are endless ways to enjoy a cup of joe. But did you know that coffee can also be a great ingredient in baking? Coffee adds a rich flavor to cakes, cookies, and even cappuccino desserts. And the best part is that it’s easy to use! 

What You Will Need:

Cappuccino Bars

• 1 cup butter
• 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour 
• add 1 tsp baking powder
• up next add 1 tsp unsweetened cocoa plus extra for dusting
• 1 cup sugar
• 4 eggs, beaten
• 3 tbsp instant coffee dissolved in 2 tbsp hot water

Frosting

• 4 oz white chocolate
• 2 oz butter, softened
• 3 tbsp milk
• 1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar

Can you Bake with Coffee?

Coffee isn’t just for cappuccinos and espressos anymore – it can also be used in baking! While the flavor of coffee is often quite strong, it can add a real depth of flavor to cakes and other desserts. When used in small quantities, coffee can complement chocolate and other rich flavors. It can also be used to balance out sweetness, making desserts that are subtly caffeinated.

 If you’re looking to experiment with coffee in your baking, start with a recipe that already includes coffee as an ingredient. This will help you to get a sense of how much coffee to use without overwhelming the other flavors in your dessert.

• First, sift together the flour, cocoa and baking powder 

• Next, add butter

• Time to blend in eggs, sugar, and coffee

• Finally, beat by hand or with an electric mixer, until smooth.

• spoon into pan, smoothing the top

I used parchment paper underneath the dough to keep from sticking

• Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.
• Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then flip onto a wire rack and peel off the paper. Let cool completely.
