This looks like a very promising coffee cake. But maybe it should be called Coffee Surprise, as there is no mention of coffee in the ingredients!

This is my "home" cake - it's so easy and quick to make, and comes out great every time. I got the recipe from my mother, actually, with a few slight variances. My recommended variance for filling is to grate 50 grams of choclate with a fine grater, add half of this to the cake mixture and the other half in the middle of the cake (instead of the cinnamon). Also, once the cake cools, sprinkle the top with sugar powder for a finishing touch.

Fantastic! (And in response to a previous reviewer... Coffee cakes aren't meant to contain coffee, the name comes from the fact that it is a good snack to serve with coffee or tea.)
