Being new to TWD I didn’t want to miss doing this week but as much as we love chocolate around here, we’re not big chocolate cake fans. So, I added a heaping tablespoon of a strong instant coffee to the batter for a bit of an espresso flavor. Hubby gave it a 2 thumbs up. They took only 20 minutes and were much moister than last week’s Pumpkin Muffins (I think the coffee helped there as well as the shorter cooking time). We’re not big on bittersweet chocolate either and I had some cream cheese frosting left. So, I used the glaze on just a few, the cream cheese frosting on a few and the mixed the remainder of the glaze with the cream cheese frosting and did a few more. The mix of both the glaze and the cream cheese frosting was our favorite.
Those look great! I love your idea of mixing the frosting.
My husband loves TWD too. He keeps asking, “What’s this week’s treat?” (Sometimes he complains if it isn’t something he really likes. But oddly enough, he somehow manages to eat them anyway… 😉 )
Ooooh, the cream cheese icing sounds perfect! Glad you made them to your liking 🙂
Way to mix it up with the frosting selections! Welcome to TWD.

They look great! Coffee and chocolate are always a good combination!
Oh YUM, that looks so good.
That looks entirely too good! Thank you for all the tempting treats on here. My daughter loves to come here with me.
Oh wow. I bet the instant coffee was an awesome compliment to the chocolate. Glad hubs and CWs enjoyed the recipe. Thanks for baking with me this week!
