Cafe Au Lait Bars Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Grease two 8- or 9-inch round cake pans, or spray with baking spray with flour. Dissolve 1 tablespoon coffee in 1 1/4 cups water. Make cake batter as directed on box, using coffee mixture in place of the water. Bake and cool as directed.
• Dissolve 2 teaspoons coffee in 1 tablespoon cool water. Stir 2 teaspoons of the coffee mixture into frosting. In medium bowl, stir together whipped topping and remaining coffee mixture; gently stir in 1/4 cup of the frosting mixture.
• On serving plate, place 1 cake layer, rounded side down. Spread with half of the whipped topping mixture (about 3/4 cup) to within 1/4 inch of edge. Top with second layer, rounded side up. Frost side and top of cake with frosting. Pipe remaining whipped topping mixture around top of cake. Refrigerate 1 to 2 hours or until chilled. Garnish top of cake with espresso beans. Store covered in refrigerator.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch pan.

• 3. Add the sugar, beating until glossy and stiff.
• 4. Add the vanilla and the melted butter, beating to combine, then stir in the flour and the salt.
• 5. Set aside 1 1/2 cups of the batter. In a small bowl, combine the instant espresso powder and the heavy cream and then add to the remaining batter.
• 6. Spread the coffee batter in the prepared pan and then spoon the reserved batter over the top.
• 7. With a butter knife, swirl the two batters to marble them.
• 8. Bake for 30 minutes or until the sides have barely pulled away from the pan.

Steps:

• Add the milk to a 2-cup mason jar. Add 1 teaspoon of caramel syrup if using and close the lid tightly. Shake the jar until foamy, about 1 minute. Remove the lid and microwave the foamy milk until hot, about 1 minute.
• Pour the hot coffee into an 8-ounce mug. Top the coffee with the hot milk and spoon over some foam. Drizzle with caramel syrup if desired.

Steps:

• Pour the hot coffee into a large mug (the mug will need to hold 130ml, plus a little foam). Pour over the steamed milk and top with a little of the foam, if you like.
