Ugh – final exams week.

It has to be one of the most stressful times in a college student’s year. Me, I’ve been surviving on copious amounts of coffee – everything from high-end espresso drinks to a suspiciously easy drugstore cappuccino machine (which was disgusting, by the way – serves me right for going for the cheap and easy).

So you’d better believe this coffee cake – via My First Kitchen – looks like a dream come true about now. Mind you, it’s not your ordinary, cinnamon-crumble coffee cake – oh no. This is a cake actually made from coffee – from its dense, rich interior to the coffee-flavored buttercream.

Unfortunately, with exams flying at me from every direction (European Enlightenment! French! Media Law and Ethics!), I don’t think I’ll have time to put this thing together just yet. Instead, I think I’ll wait for a special occasion.

The start of summer vacation counts as a special occasion, right?
