    I thought it was a little too basic. It was super cute in a coffee mug but it tasted like a box cake with coffee. I normally like Sandra's recipes but this was not her best.

    I also made this as a bundt cake. Pouring 1/3 of the batter in the pan, then a layer of the "cappuccino" and the rest of the batter. My family liked it so much I think I made five of them over the holidays.
