Linda G Hill’s Stream of Conscious Saturday (#SoCS) prompt this week is “icing in the cake”. Write about the first thing that comes to mind when you think of the phrase “icing on the cake.”
I was sitting here in the kitchen with my pen and pad, thinking about the cliché, the icing on the cake, when in walks Stephano with a bag of groceries. Interrupted my thoughts yes, but then handed me my new favourite sweet treat…coffee traybake from Supervalu. I squealed like a child who just got a new puppy! These coffee traybakes are not always available — or maybe they are but we’re just not quick enough to beat the rush.
This all started last year when I took a sudden notion that I wanted coffee cake. You’d think it would be easy to find but no. None in the coffee shops, or the bakeries, or the supermarkets.
Then one day Stephano arrived home with these absolutely scrumptious squares of decadence. Spongy and moist, rich with the flavour of coffee. But it’s the icing on the top that makes these the most delicious cakes I’ve ever had. So creamy and melty, with little shavings of nubbly dark chocolate sprinkled on top. I can’t help but close my eyes as the textures mesh together in my mouth. Savouring every morsel.
I’ll have another one at four o’clock. Today is a good day!
It’s probably just as well that they’re not available all the time.

Looks so yummy and now I want one.
They’re so good Darlene!
Mmmm they look amazing! Checking my local Super Valu next week.
Now I want one. I have a sweet tooth and that looks and sounds delicious. Had banana loaf yesterdya with chocolate chips and peanut butter icing.
Oh…peanut butter icing sounds delicious! Never had it.
Now your twitter comment makes sense 😄 A delivery to sample for myself would be fair, … I think 🤣😂
😆 You never know!!
They look mouth-wateringly delicious! Put the kettle on…
There’s none left now! 😃
Sounds decadent. I m sure I will not be able to get it here so I think that you should start testing and trying to make your own version. What do you think?
I still make the coffee ‘birthday’ cake recipe of yours. I halve the ingredients and bake in a tray, then cut into squares. Still delicious, but it’s the icing on these from Supervalu that makes them so decadent Esme. But yes, I’ll try. 😄
Glad you like it and thanks for sharing your feedback
Omg, you’ve made my mouth water ! 😂😂😂
You’d love them Esmeralda! 😋
