I’m not really a cake hand though my kids and the man love their cakes. I’d rather have a bar of Dairy Milk personally, or maybe a Green & Blacks if I feel flush.
Finding simple and easy ways to give the kids a cake led me to trying a cake in a cup a while back. I couldn’t say I liked it, but the kids did and that’s all that matters.

The children will love making a snack that they made themselves.
For this you need to grind some dark roasted coffee.
We often focus on what the kids like to make sure they will eat.
