The aroma of coffee brewing at home is sure to make any person feel excited and make even the laziest of all to get up from the couch and grab that cup.

But do you know drinking up is not the only way to enjoy coffee? You could eat it too! You read it right, EAT IT!



Following endless experiments, I landed upon discovering a new use of coffee in the form of a yummy cupcake that will surely make your sweet temptations go on a roller coaster ride and not settle in just one piece.

Presenting to you heaven in your hands: coffee cupcake recipe..
