Happy Tuesday!
The cold bug came though the household last week and I was really hoping that I was gonna skip it this time around. Boy was I wrong, today is the first day that I’ve been able to get out of bed and spend a good couple of hours online. Though I’m still battling a headache (I only get them when I’m sick) though I’m happy that I don’t sound like there is a frog in my throat each time I cough anymore.
A good cup of tea and cuddles from my cats have made this rainy Tuesday awesome!

Baking
I mentioned about this dessert in yesterdays post “Birthday Weekend“. My late Grams found this recipe in one of our local papers 40+ years ago and it’s been a family favourite ever since.
Prep Time: 10 -15minutes
Cook Time: 40-45 minutes
Preparation: Preheat the oven to 350′F
Ingredients:
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup sifted all purpose flour
2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
3 tablespoon melted shortening (or butter/margarine)
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
4 tablespoon cocoa
1 cup cold coffee
Mix the first 6 ingredients together,
Add the melted shortening,
Combine milk and the vanilla and add to the mixture,
Pour into greased 8×8 inch pan,
Combine sugars and cocoa and sprinkle evenly over the batter,
Pour the coffee over the mixture,
Bake at 350′F degrees for 40-45 minutes.
Serve it warm or cold and DO NOT forget the ice cream 
One reason why I love this dessert is because you can’t taste the coffee (and I don’t like coffee)
