    OK - I just baked this cake. I'd been intrigued to have a cake with mustard and coffee among the ingredients, they're seemingly disparate. The cake baked up beautifully, is a deep color like chocolate. the house smells great, and the pinch I've taken is delicious. When I next host a book club meeting I'll serve this with some vanilla whipped cream.
    Thanks for such a unique recipe.
