Ever since I tasted the Starbucks chocolate covered coffee beans, I've been wanting to make something decadent with coffee. Luckily Lisa has taken care of my dilemma with her mocha cake with coffee bean brittle. It looks stunning and surely tastes scrumptious.

For those of you worried that the end of the holiday season means you'll no longer be able to enjoy the specialty red cup drinks at Starbucks, then stop stressing out. Here's a recipe so you can make your own delicious peppermint mocha. — Brewed Coffee
This week, with all of the gingerbread and holiday baking, I thought it would be nice to make a simple cake to pair with coffee. Many folks have friends and family staying at their house this season and a coffee cake is something that whips up quickly and is perfect to have on hand. It works as a simple breakfast, and is delightful with an afternoon cup of tea. 
Brace yourselves, people. If you thought Mocha the broccoli-gobbling hamster was cute all grown-up, wait until you see little baby Mocha. You might have to sit down first. 
Which has more calories - a can of Coke or a tall non-fat, no whip Mocha from Starbucks? Ahhhh....but which one is better for you?
