Coffee Cake with grated chocolate topping

Celebrating the 3rd anniversary of my dear little space ...

Time flies by so quickly and I didn’t realise that its been 3 years since I started my blog. In these years I have learnt a lot about blogging, about different cuisines, found lot of friends and  more than that improved skills in baking and have become a crazy baker… :)

I am really thankful to my husband for supporting me with this blog. He encouraged me to write up the content and to upload food pics of whatever I made and the most important thing is that whatever I made it was experimented on him first. In fact, he wanted to name this blog “My experiments with husband” instead of “My experiments with food”... :)

So to celebrate the 3rd anniversary of my blog, I baked a coffee cake which is one of my favorites. I love the coffee flavor blended with the cake. When the cake was being baked the aroma of the cake along with coffee, filled the house and couldn’t resist tasting a bit while it was cooling down. I just topped the cake with grated white chocolate as we didn’t like the butter cream frosting. This is a simple and easy cake to bake for a party or any occasion.
