Coffee Cake Recipe + Delicious Starbucks® Caffè Latte

Three Delicious Starbucks® Caffè Latte Flavors are Coming Home: Mocha, Vanilla and Caramel

Being a coffee fanatic, I set out to find a great-tasting home latte.  I first looked at home latte machines, but I wasn’t too excited about losing counter space to another big kitchen item.  I’ve had my Keurig® machine for years and it always comes through: it makes great-tasting coffee and is perfect for families on-the- go like mine.  I was thrilled to hear that not only are there lattes available for Keurig® brewers, but that they’re also from Starbucks®!  I am stoked to be able to enjoy the unparalleled taste of Starbucks® Caffè Latte in the comfort of my robe or jammies right at home!

One of the best things about the Starbucks® Caffé Latte K-Cup® pods  is that they come in three flavor varieties.  I’ve tried all three of them, here are my thoughts on each:

Mocha – for me, a latte should always be creamy and the creamy mocha flavor and texture of the Mocha Caffè Latte  has a luscious taste that is spot-on.   I tend to reach for mocha when I want an after-dinner latte with a dessert.

Caramel – I have a soft spot for caramel and have been ordering caramel lattes from Starbucks® for years.  I am picky about sweet flavors that I enjoy in the morning: fruit and orange juice are definitely ok and so is a bit of caramel in my latte.  The Caramel Starbucks® Caffè Latte K-cup® smells and tastes great, and I add a touch of creamer, which, in my opinion, results in the perfect latte taste.  My husband loves it without any creamer.  I like how the caramel isn’t overly sweet.

Vanilla – for those of you who like a full vanilla latte flavor, this one is for you!  I wasn’t sure what the at-home brewing experience would bring, but each cup is flavorful with bold taste.

I made a coffee cake that contains no coffee but pairs wonderfully with any of these Starbucks® Caffè Latte.  The time I save from using a Keurig® helps me be more productive, which sometimes results in a nice dessert for my family.  Cakes are always better with something to wash them down, be it milk, a port wine at night or a creamy latte at any meal.  So whether it’s washing down a nice breakfast cake or an after-dinner dessert, a latte for your morning routine or an afternoon treat to get you through the day, I highly recommend you try out Starbucks® Caffé Latte K-Cup® pods.

Stir, Sip, Enjoy. Signature Starbucks® latte flavors, now available in a K-Cup®
