Cake and coffee are like cheese and wine. They’re meant to be savored slowly over a few hours’ worth of chit-chat and story-swapping. That means when girls’ night out turns into ladies who brunch, your go-to is this café mocha bundt cake. Not only does it pair well with a cup of joe, but this recipe relies on coffee three ways: ground, brewed and put in a glaze. With that kind of buzz, no one will get tired of talking.
