EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Instead of brandy, you can use 1 1/2 teaspoons of brandy extract plus 1/4 cup water.

Keep the topping smooth and creamy by adding the whipping cream gradually to the cream cheese mixture.

I have made this cake 5 times in a month and a half.it is great. i have changed a few things about it.i added finely ground nuts to the cake part before cooking.I added 4TBSP of cornsyrup to the expresso mixture,i do use most of it when i brush it on.I use regular whipping cream not heavy whipping cream.the biggest challenge for me was finding the INSTANT EXPRESSO.I could only find it at PUBLIX.I went to walmart,winn-dixie,starbucks,dakota coffee shop,the only place you will find instant expresso is in a publix.i do not add the sprinkle of chocolate on top.the more you make this dessert the more you change a few things to fit what your family likes about it.my dad who is about to be 70 years old is stuck on this dessert,no matter what else i cook as a dessert i have to make this too.

Mine taste "okay" only but here's why... I didn't have rum or brandy so I used Kahlua. I didn't know if you're suppose to use the whole coffee/corn syrup mixture.. is it suppose to be watery or syrup(y)? I only used about half of the mixture(it just said brush on) I probably needed to use the whole thing? And the 2 tablespoon of cocoa on top was a bit much (i think 1 tablespoon is good enough). AND I think I should have poked more holes!

This is very good! Enjoyed by all. I did use Cool-Whip light in place of the cream but would use the real cream if it was for company or pot luck. The Cool Whip worked great!:)
