I REALLY don't like coffee - any ideas what I can use instead?

When you have a craving for a comforting dessert, try this pudding cake, which forms its own rich-tasting sauce as it bakes. The coffee flavor is subtle, but it adds complex depth to the cake's flavor.

This is sooo delicious!!!!





I'd made this recipe before (and left a review for it), and I remember thinking it wasn't that great and kind of tasted like pancake mix (because of the whole wheat flour). When I remade it this time I added a little under a 1/4 cup more sugar than the recipe called for. I also bought high quality chocolate chips, and added about close to a full cup of them. It was delicious. The cake came out really thick, and moist, and the "pudding" tasted amazing. The changes might cut back a little on the healthy aspects of the cake, but they make a world of difference in taste. I will definitely be making this again.





This was a great treat for us who are trying to eat healthy and lose weight! I used organic sucanat instead of sugar and it was very good. I used milk chocolate chips, as that is what I had, and it was killer good! I used a special blend of coffee that my husband mixes at the store, with a lot of Kona coffee in it. This is definitely a recipe we'll use again and again.





Very good cake! Mine wasn't as moist and "pudding-y" as I expected it would be, but it was satisfying for a low-calorie chocolate cake. Next time I would omit the chocolate chips, since it was a bit too rich with them for me. I would probably cook it a bit less, too, so it would more of a pudding and a bit moister.
