This is a sponsored post for Moccona
I will take any moment to relax when I get it. I often create little pockets of time to escape for a bit before the reality of a filthy floor and third load of washing to be hung out hits me again. When the baby is napping and Abby is out, or quietly playing, I will grab a cup and something to read and zone out for a few minutes.
As I bake a different goodie every week, depending on my mood, I have a little something to indulge in when I’m sitting down to relax. Sometimes it’s healthy, sometimes it’s a bit of a treat, but it’s always delicious.
Recently I had a morning meeting with the organic farmer who grows my fruit and veg, and I made a lovely orange cake with oranges from my delivery that week. Later on that afternoon, I found myself with half an hour spare and I dived straight for that cake, put a callout on Facebook for some blog posts to read, and settled back with a cup of vanilla-infused Moccona coffee. I’m very partial to vanilla, and Moccona is great at giving me a little boost in the afternoon without wiring me til midnight (caffeine and I are NOT FRIENDS).
I’m actually very keen to try all three flavours (vanilla, hazelnut and caramel) and I think the caramel one would be divine in a caramel-frosted coffee scroll… oh man. I like that it is a ‘hint’ of flavor, not a sugary overload. It just adds that extra level in a subtle way and the vanilla was perfect alongside the orange cake. Hell, vanilla is perfect alongside anything, but I’m biased.
If you’re into afternoon (or anytime!) mini-breaks to indulge, then you might like a something from the flavor-infused Moccona range. Orange cake optional! I have five packs to give away (each pack contains a Vanilla, Hazelnut and Caramel flavor), and one grand prize of a Amazon Gift Card for $500. Six lucky coffee-loving readers are going to be very happy!
Please leave a comment (30 words or less) telling me what you’d have with your favourite flavor. Did the orange cake sway you? Perhaps an apple tart, or coconut muffin? Something else you love to make?
And is there room at your table for me?

Michelle Knowles says
For me, anything with chocolate goes with coffee, or a giant blueberry muffin. I’m a sucker for flavoured coffee.

Banana cake,who’s not partial to some nana cake with a sweet milky coffee?
midwifebex says
Oooh, I have a killer recipe for a stone-fruit and berry crumble with vanilla and hazelnut. A warm bowl with a drizzle of cream, and a yummy hazelnut coffee would be divine.
Michelle V says
Shortbread biscuits, soft as silk
Devoured with Moccona Vanilla coffee with milk
Buttery, sweet, and SO ready to dunk
On Moccona coffee I’d happily get drunk! 🙂
Erica @ Recycled-Fashion.com says
I’d go with a batch of chai cookies with the vanilla flavoured coffee, think of all of those decadent spices in one sitting!

Nanas china, Moccona Vanilla coffee and I have just found my old favourite carrot cake recipe from 25 years ago, I thought it was gone, so happy dance for me

Ohhh.. a hard one so I have picked two! You pick –
A) Hazelnut with home made ‘Choc’ cross buns – still warm or
B) Caramel with a Tim Tam – slurping the Tim Tam through it!!
Domestic Diva says
You mentioned a coconut muffin, and now I can’t think of anything else. Will you please make me one? Yum!
Mother Down Under says
I think I would take the caramel, add ice and ice cream and blend it into a decadent treat. No baked good needed.
I would share with you!
KJ says
Anything nutty for me! Walnut and coffee cake, crumble with an almond crust or chocolate and hazelnut brownies! nuts for nuts, I am! 🙂
Bron says
I love the sound of a hazelnut coffee next to a piece of caramel slice! Yum!

A chocolate and orange gluten/dairy free cake, my favourite I like to make, With a Moccona hazelnut coffee by its side, Its my favourite blend worldwide.
Lila Wolff says
I’d definitely need the caramel and a salted chocolate (soft) pretzel. Salty and sweet is my favourite me time combination.
Emma @ Family Life Central says
Hazelnut blend with a piece of my Oma’s fruitcake, using the recipe she gave me 10yrs ago before her memory started to fade. And, of course, it only tastes right if it is made in Oma’s tin which she passed on to me when she stopped baking the cake herself.
Elizabeth says
At the moment I am craving apple pie 🙂
Leah says
I would most likely make a fudgy chocolate brownie adding hazelnut moccona and caramel choc chips! Yummo, plus drink the vanilla in a chilled old school iced coffee! too much?
ANB says
Yesterday E randomly demanded we make apple cake.
“Apple muffins?”
“Nooooooo,” she wailed, “BIG apple cake.”
We made one: buttery, fruity, sweet.
Only improveable by a side of hazelnut coffee.
Cat says
I thought the first pic was carrot cake and i’m now craving some! A slice of carrot cake with hazelnut coffee. Yum!
Sarah Flood says
I absolutely love anything with apple and cinnamon. So I think I would have a cup of Vanilla Soy Coffee and a nice hot slice of Apple Cinnamon Custard Tea Cake. *drool* I can hear the decadence calling.
Let the Wildflowers Grow says
My ultimate favorite home made coffee companion would have to be Almond Biscuits.They are crunchy and not over sweet.One batch makes plenty but I always double up.When we move down your way Veggie Mama,be sure there will be room for.you and your lovely girls at my table.
Jessica Rozga-Deboni says
A. There is always room at our table for you.
B. Dark chocolate. 72% or darker. What else would you even dream of pairing with your coffee?
Lisa Mckenzie says
I love a good lemon cake and also banana bread and a new recipe for Nigella’s olive oil cake,and It has to be with coffee!
thesuzchef says
Something not chocolate, I’m much more partial to a real afternoon tea with tea cake – something fruity or coconut flavoured. I’d love to have the vanilla Moccona with a passionfruit almond meal cake, perhaps drizzled with some gorgeous tart lemon icing on top. And of course there will be a cup of coffee and a cake for you!
Lauren says
Salted caramel macarons are my vice and coffee is my addiction. Salted caramel macarons with caramel coffee is my idea of afternoon paradise.
L0C0 says
I’d love to make a coffee cake using one of the Moccona flavours. And chocolate. I’m very partial to anything chocolate.

As my hubby NEVER Eats cheesecake, this would be my indulgence, alone, without him x
Bree @ Twinkle in the Eye says
Did you say put it ‘in’ the scroll? I think I just want to drink it! I fancy caramel with an 80’s flash back to coffee cake – not too sweet.

I love to make banana bread, and this coffee would go perfectly! Yum. I’d have to wait for my kidlets to nap, otherwise I’d have to share! 😉
Jennifer Bliss says
The older I get the more I appreciate Vanilla. I’d also like to try a Vegan Vanilla Coconut Muffin along side. Of course a Vegan Cheesecake would be even better!
Cara says
That cake looks delicious! Are you able to post the recipe? And do you think it could be modified with limes? I bought a truckload on special, purely because they were so cheap and looked so tasty but now my muddled baby brain can’t think what to do with them! Thanks!

A delicious, gooey, warm, chocolatey brownie would be complimented by vanilla Maccona. Did I mention the brownies are primarily made from black beans? You’d never know. A true healthy indulgence.
Sheri Thomson says
Sitting at the table, enveloped by rare silence, I sipped my coffee, looking out over the backyard of my new house, smiling and relaxed. Caramel Moccona needs nothing else.

I love hazelnut coffee teamed with some nearly melted pieces of lindt chilli chocolate. That sounds like I’m pregnant much? For some strange reason after our last child, (bubba #3 ) I have kept my strange appetite! I still love to crunch ice cubes! That’s another story…
