Coffee Cake with Coffee Buttercream and Coffee Glazed Icing

[John McLaughlin]

I recently had a pacemaker installed and I am restricted in what I can do. I cannot exercise, lift my left arm above my shoulder, no driving and no lifting more the ten pound. Some of this will be lifted at my next doctor's appointment. So what is left: Cooking and baking. So today I made a coffee cake with coffee buttercream infused with chicory and coffee essence and a coffee glazed also infused with chicory and coffee essence. The cake was topped with pecans and chocolate chips and served with fresh whipped cream.

I can feel my blood sugar rising just from the pics, and how much I would be forced, FORCED I SAY, to eat! As a diabetic, you might be up for murder charges from deliciousness, but I'll go quietly, and with a smile on my face ?

Well wishes, hope for a nice recovery for you, and thankfully, you can keep busy with things you clearly love to do.

Yum!

I could use a piece of that right about now. Would go very well with my COFFEE.

Sorry to hear about your health woes, I hope the pacemaker gets you right as rain!

That coffee cake looks fantastic!
