Which Sweet Treat Are You?

Jump to Recipe

This Tiramisu Kahlua Pound Cake is loaded with chocolate chips and Kahlua and perfect for the tiramisu fan in your life.

Everyone seems to have a sweets personality.

Some people are chocolate-aholics, some are plain vanilla Janes, some like tart citrus, and others like me, will take just about any sweet that comes their way. 🙂

So when Baker’s Joy contacted me and told me they were creating a baking personality quiz to know Which Sweet Treat Are You?

That sounded like fun.

I got to pick a personality, so I went with boozy. 😀

With the result of your quiz you get a recipe that matches your personality.

If you are saying to yourself what is Baker’s Joy?

It’s is simply that.

An invention that made anyone who bakes be joyous.

Back in the day you used to have to grease and then flour pans and baking sheets and it was kind of a pain.

And I would be lazy and not want to line my baked goods would stick and I would get mad at myself for being lazy.

Then came the invention of baking spray non-stick spray with the addition of flour, perfect for baking.

And it is.

Such a time saver and works great…especially when making a Bundt cake (as those suckers can stick!).

Speaking of Bundts…I made for my recipe a boozy and yummy Tiramisu Kahlua Pound Cake.

The use of coffee and Mascarpone cheese gives it the tiramisu flavors and well the Kahlua explains itself. 🙂

***Baker’s Joy compensated me for ingredients and sent me a complimentary can of Baker’s Joy (which is a product I already use…hence me working with them).

You can find them on Facebook and Twitter.

P.S. It’s a great day to buy my cookbook Holy Sweet!

  5. I’m an Espresso Chocolate Chip Shortbread Cookie…I sound delicious!!! 🙂
    I love little quizzes like that…so fun. I also love Baker’s Joy, and think it works better than its competitors.

    • @Erika- I’m sure they will be happy to hear that. And I agree, I think it works better as well, which is why I buy it.

  10. I can not take the quiz because I am not on Facebook but I have the feeling it would be something vanilla. I will be making this cake though. I love bundt cakes and am always looking for a good new recipe.

  11. I’m a Baked Vanilla Bean Doughnut! I am dying to make the Tiramisu Kahlua Pound Cake, but I have a couple of questions. Are instant coffee granules the same as coffee powder? I only have the granules, but maybe I could crush them with a rolling pin and make powder!!! Also, I have straight Kahlua that I use for making Kahlua and Cream drinks (yum). Can I use that instead of the Liqueur? Thank you so much for your help and congratulations on your marriage! May you have many years of happiness 🙂 .

    • @Ginny- the granules are not the same. Starbucks makes a brand called Via that they sell in a lot of places. That is what I use. And straight Kahlua and Kahlua Liqueur are the same things so yes use away!

  14. I like to bake but am relatively inexperienced. Can you please explain the baking procedure on this cake? I have never seen a cake recipe (other than cheesecake) that called for such a long cook time and so many temp changes??

    • It’s cold oven method. Just helps keep it baking evenly and not burn. And most pound cakes take at least an hour to bake.
