Glazed Coffee Squares


 Very rich and delicious!  The original recipe called for raisins and walnuts.  Completely unnecessary!  If you ask me what my favorite part of this cake is....I would have to say THE FROSTING!  It has a slight hint of delicious coffee.  A piece of this "cake" would taste great with coffee or course, or a nice cold glass of milk.   1 piece is enough per sitting.

Makes 12 Squares


Cake:

1/2 cup brewed coffee (I used decaf)
2 tablespoons molasses
1/2 cup butter (at room temperature)
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1  1/2 cup flour
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder 
(1/4 cup raisins, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts optional)

Glaze:

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons brewed coffee
1/2 teaspoon butter (at room temperature)
1 cup confectioners' sugar



  • In a large bowl, mix together molasses, butter, egg and cooled coffee (or egg will cook)
  • Add sugar, flour, cinnamon, baking soda and baking powder and mix
  • Place in a greased square pan
  • Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 40 minutes (until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean)
  • Spread glaze on top while still warm
