Happy Birthday, Adam

Espresso Cake with Hot Kahlua Syrup
Recipe from Carole Walter's Great Cakes

Once more, it's Adam's birthday. Last night we celebrated with a meal at an Indian restaurant and another fabulous cake baked by Carol. She's  made many cakes from the book Great Cakes. The combination of coffee flavor, chocolate frosting, Kahlua syrup to soak into the cake, and a hint of lemon from the candied peel decorating the top was remarkable.

Many happy returns, Adam!
