COFFEE PAIRING: MISSISSIPPI MUD CAKE RECIPE (SIMPLIFIED VERSION)

Today I’m sharing one of our favorite recipes, Mississippi Mud Cake (my simplified version) paired with our favorite Folgers® coffee roast.

The Folgers® Coffeehouse is a favorite of ours, the medium to medium dark blend is our go-to for any time of the day, making the perfect pairing at home. It’s flavor is smooth and bold perfect for adding cream and sugar, if you like. I love it with breakfast and an afternoon pick me up. When it comes to entertaining, it’s an all around great roast that I’m sure your guests will love. 

If you’re looking for a full bodied dark roast, Folgers® Black Silk is what we recommend. We love the smooth full-bodied cup of black coffee, it tastes great with the more than sweet taste of my Mississippi Mud cake. Chasing all that chocolate flavor with the rich taste leaves you wanting another bite.

When it’s time to relax after a meal with family or friends make a big pot of your favorite Folgers® and enjoy with your favorite dessert. The recipe that I’m sharing today is a crowd pleaser and you can make it in no time. By using a simplified version, you will have more time for yourself or to prepare for guests.

You can use the following guidelines to find your favorite flavor:

• Light Roasts: if you enjoy fruity, acidic, bright or floral flavors.
• Medium to Medium-Dark Roasts: if you love caramel or nutty flavors.
• Dark Roasts: if you like full-bodied bittersweet or chocolate flavors.

I guess you know by now that our favorites are the  medium to dark roasts, smooth and bold. Folgers® has such a wide variety of flavors and 17 roast options, there is one for everyone. There are so many options, I would love to know which one is your favorite.
