Hi all - I need to make cakes using coffee concentrate and was looking for some ideas. I've got:
chocolate cake with coffee buttercream
coconut-coffee cake with chocolate buttercream or with coffee buttercream
gluten-free chocolate cake with coffee buttercream
Thanks in advance 
I'd steal some ideas from Starbucks...
cinnamon dolce latte (spice cake with coffee buttercream?)
caramel macchiato (white cake with caramel filling and coffee buttercream?)
salted caramel mocha (chocolate cake, salted-caramel filling, coffee buttercream?)
pumpkin spice latte
hazelnut latte
Well...you get the idea.

I've made a coffee flavored cake. I add instant espresso granules to the liquid in my cake. Frost it with vanilla or chocolate buttercream. Had one client who is absolutely gaga over this cake.
Mmm that sounds good too So do you just use a typical white cake recipe adding the granules to the liquid? If I do that I thought I could just use my white cake recipe and use the coffee concentrate in place of some liquid...
I recently did a chocolate cake with a coffee SMBC. I used this recipe and just added instant expresso until I felt the taste was strong enough. Everyone loved it!

Sorry so long in replying...still haven't been able to get CC to update my email address.
Yep...I used my white cake recipe and added instant espresso powder to the milk until I thought it was strong enough. Was so very yummy!

No worries - I ended up using my usual white cake recipe and replaced some of the milk with my coffee concentrate then frosted with vanilla....turned out excellent!
