Coffee Chocolate Cake with Ganache Frosting

September 29, 2016   |   2 Comments

I participated in Mom Blog Tour at the Summer Fancy Food Show on behalf of Wendy’s Bloggers and received Brooklyn Bean Roastery products and a @HamiltonBeach FlexBrew to facilitate my review. #MomBlogTourFF

Who’s ready for a double chocolate cake that’s moist, delicious and Oh – has a hint of coffee in the flavor? What cake could be better than a Coffee Chocolate Cake that’s topped with a delicious ganache frosting and loaded with even more chocolate chips on top.  YUM!

Better yet, I used Brooklyn Bean Roastery Coffee in the recipe, this is a cool brand that I was introduced to this summer. When I say cool, I mean cool.

The people of Brooklyn have a style that is unique and diverse and they have adopted that style in their approach to coffee making. They understand that people have different tastes and preferences, which is why they offer a variety of roasts and flavors to suit every palate.

From crisp, flavorful, light blends to full flavor, extra bold roasts to decadent flavored coffees, and all with one-of-a-kind names and packaging that captures the Brooklyn flair.

Wait, you’re wondering about this cute coffee machine, aren’t you? Isn’t it the perfect, most adorable size ever? It’s called a FlexBrew and it’s made by Hamilton Beach.  My favorite thing about it is that I can use a coffee mug or travel mug with it.  It’s the best of both worlds! Plus, it’s compatible with all K-Cup’s like the Brooklyn Bean Roastery Coffee! WIN!

It has two different settings as well, regular or bold.  The bold setting will increase the extraction for a more flavorful cup of coffee.

I found that my favorite coffee to drink from Brooklyn Bean Roastery is the Brooklyn Bridge Blend, it’s a medium roast with a delicious rich flavor.  It worked perfectly in this Coffee Chocolate Cake recipe too!
