Coffee Muffins For Father's Day
The two most important and amazing men in my life (excluding my two precious sons!!) are my Dad and my husband/baby daddy Ian. Father's Day is the time to honour their role in my life and the best way of doing so is through the medium of cake!Both of them love coffee cake..it is after all a manly flavour! So in honour of them both I have made my totally delicious Coffee Muffins. They are the lightest muffins ever and the fudgy icing is just a little taste of coffee heaven. Here's the recipe in case you want to make some for the man in your life too!
