1 teaspoon instant decaffeinated coffee granules
1/4 cup hot water
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 cup sifted Atkins Quick Quisine
Bake Mix
3 teaspoons ground ginger
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, plus more for garnish
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granular sugar substitute
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1. Heat oven to 350F. Lightly butter an 8-inch square
baking pan and line bottom with parchment paper; set
aside.
2. Combine coffee and water in a cup; stir until coffee is
dissolved. Cool. Stir in cream; set aside.
3. In a medium bowl, combine bake mix, ginger, cinnamon,
baking powder, cocoa powder, allspice, cloves and salt;
set aside.
4. In a large bowl, with electric mixer on low, beat butter
just until creamy. Increase speed to medium-high and
beat butter until smooth and light in color, 1 1/2 to 2
minutes. Gradually beat in sugar substitute. Add eggs
one at a time, beating well after each addition and
scraping sides of bowl as necessary. Beat in vanilla.
5. Reduce speed to medium-low. Add bake mix mixture in
three additions, alternating with the coffee-cream
mixture and beginning and ending with bake mix
mixture. Beat just until combined. Scrape down sides of
bowl and beat 10 seconds more.
6. Spoon batter into prepared pan and smooth top. Bake
until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out
clean, about 25 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Run a
knife around edge of pan, and invert onto wire rack; peel
off parchment paper. Invert again onto a cutting board.
Using a serrated knife, cut into squares. Dust with cinnamon, and serve warm or at room temperature.
This flavorful snack cake fills the kitchen with a heavenly aroma
of spices, bringing back memories of old-fashioned baking.
Serve it with a dollop of whipped cream for an even richer treat.
