This was wonderful, very moist, and extremely good tasting. I made it today, and followed the recipe exactly. When I make it again, and my DH won't let me NOT make it again, I may make the coffee a bit stronger. We both love coffee, so the taste for us will not be overbearing - for us! HokiesLsady - you did everyone a favor posting this recipe. Thank you for a wonderful treat.

I loved meeting so many wonderful people from across the globe in what were truly amazing forums and during events on the site which encouraged interaction. I miss those forums and am saddened that this is now just another recipe collection site. I will always come back here as I have so many recipes saved of my own and tried many gems.
