About

I'm sure coffee lovers will not resist having a slice or two of this Almond Coffee Pound Cake to go with a cuppa of hot coffee especially during the rainy season and cooling weather.It was a very delicious cake incorporating coffee powder and kahlua (you can use rum too) liqueur which were added into the batter. I even added 2 tablespoons of ground almond into it to make the cake more fragrant and it tasted better the next day.
