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.
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.

What is your favorite dessert to have with your coffee? I would love to hear in the comments below!

Oh yum! I think this would be a HUGE hit in my house.
I need some of that in my life immediately! I’m not gluten free or flour free or anything free… BUT I have been seeing some amazing recipes lately that make me think maybe I can improve my health without being miserable.
That looks amazing! I used to see the words “flourless” or “gluten-free” and immediately think it was going to be a horrible recipe. Not anymore!
I would love to make this. It’s really pretty and those flavors sound really good. What an awesome use of those grounds.
This sounds so good and it would be perfect for Passover!
I”m going to have to show this recipe to my sister. She’s always thinking up recipes that limit or remove things like processed flour. Great recipe.
That looks delicious! We usually drink a medium roast but sometimes I like a flavored coffee.
This looks so yummy. I have never made a flourless cake. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
So I am making this now! I am trying to eat better but then I saw this and yeah eating better it’s going to happen a different day this looks so good.
Everything about this cake sounds amazing! I need this in my belly right now!
Desserts are Rob’s favorite food, LOL and this would be something he would eat all by himself. Thank you for sharing. Looks like I am going to have to make this for him and Shaun.
This sounds so good. Love the combo of espresso, macadamia nut, and chocolate.
That just looks perfect for any chocolate lover! What a fun option for when you just don’t have the flour at home.
Hmmm..let’s see…chocolate AND coffee together in the same recipe? Yep, I’m all in for that! This cake sounds like a perfect pairing to my evening coffee.

That looks so delicious. I would love to try this recipe!
Flourless? Now this I have to try. I think everyone would love this. I might have to change out the nuts since I’m allergic though but I’m sure I’ll find a suitable replacement.
I like Marley Coffee blends – a medium roast
This sounds amazing! I have a ton of macadamia nuts left over from my holiday baking. This looks like the perfect recipe to use some of the up in!

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! 🙂
Your cake looks so yummy. Just looking at it I wouldn’t be able to tell there was no flour in it.
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.
I usually choose the house blend. That cake looks so yummy right now. I am going to have to bake something today.

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!
