Flourless Chocolate Macadamia Nut Espresso Cake

by 174 Comments

This is a sponsored post. All opinions are mine. For many of us, college is a time filled with firsts. It was a time I was first on my own, had my first real boyfriend and tasted coffee. For a long time, my coffee’s sole purpose was in helping me pull off all-night cram sessions for my upcoming exams. Shortly after, my first full-time job came along and a morning cup of Joe (or two) became a necessity to help start my day.

As I have gotten older, I now have an appreciation for the taste, quality, and aroma. One of my favorite things to do is curling up with a home-brewed latté in one hand, a book in the other, and a sweet treat nearby. One of my favorite sweets is my super moist and decadently delicious Flourless Chocolate Macadamia Nut Espresso Cake.

Love coffee and dessert? My decadent Flourless Chocolate Macadamia Nut Espresso Cake is both in one! It is a great flourless cake recipe.

When I make my Flourless Chocolate Macadamia Nut Espresso Cake, I want to be sure I have a great coffee. This is the ingredient that really makes this recipe shine. For me, that brand of coffee is Community Coffee: the largest family-owned coffee company in the U.S.

My taste for coffee has evolved over the years and I am super choosy when it comes to the beans I purchase. It has been a long time since I looked forward to waking up and having that first cup of coffee. With Community Coffee, I get a product that’s high in quality and comes from a source that’s ethical and trustworthy.

I am so happy to have discovered a coffee with such amazing flavor profiles. The blends from Community Coffee boast a rich, bold, slightly fruity, and absolutely delicious taste. With their tight-knit relationships with farmers worldwide, they give me even more reason to purchase from them. Their product line ranges from ground roasts to whole beans, down to K-cup pods for single-serve coffee machines.

Their premium coffees start at $6.49 USD for 12 oz. (ground), making delicious and ethical coffee a rather accessible treat. I used the Ground Private Reserve Columbia-Toledo-Labateca coffee in my Flourless Chocolate Macadamia Nut Espresso Cake. It retails for just under $10 and it is sooooo worth it!!

So when I’m brewing at home, I turn to Community Coffee. Not only is it great for my daily dose of java, but because of its hard-to-resist aromas, blends, and flavors, it’s actually the perfect ingredient for my Flourless Chocolate Macadamia Nut Espresso Cake. Double win? I think so. Be sure to stay social with Community Coffee and like them on Facebook and follow them on Twitter.

  60. Hi Kelly! I’m always going to drink Colombian coffee. I’ve tried all other roasts but colombian is the only one that will wake me up in the morning! I did buy fat free half and half for once last shopping day… but I regret doing that.. my coffee is not tasting the same. I guess I’m just going to go back to the regular creamer…and the calories that go with it! 🙂

  62. So far, of all the coffees I have tried, I love a light roast best. I do not remember the brand.. but it was a light roast. For regular use, my fav is plain old Chase and Sanborn and I put chocolate in it all.

  128. My favorite blend of coffee changes quite often. I usually like flavored coffee, like French Vanilla. Then that gets boring and I find Colombian coffee to be my favorite. Right now, that’s where I am.

    Reply

  130. I do not drink coffee, but family members who do seem to prefer the dark roasts–don’t know about any particular blend they might like though. I don’t think they would complain too much about any of them, since mostly they doctor their cups with flavored creamers!
