Yes, you read that right—this is a coffee cake that actually features real coffee. Say goodbye to the confusion about whether coffee cake is meant to be enjoyed with coffee or made with it.

Layers of rich coffee-infused chocolate, gooey marshmallows, and a graham cracker crust come together to create a dessert that’s as indulgent as it is Instagram-worthy. Be prepared to have all your party guests talking about this one for days (and asking for seconds). Try this recipe with our extra dark roast, Ember.
