How to make Cappuccino Cake
What is the best flour to use?
What size pan can I use for the cake?
I used a 9 1/2 inch bundt pan but you could also use a 9 inch square cake pan or tube pan. Two 8 inch loaf pans would also work.
What is a Cappuccino?
It is a hot drink made with Italian coffee and steamed milk. It originated in Italy and is consumed in the morning usually for breakfast, but never during meals or in the evening.
This is a typical Italian cake that has no frosting or icing but just a simple dusting of powdered sugar. I like the addition of chocolate chips, but you could easily substitute with chopped nuts if you prefer.
