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?

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?
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.
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! 🙂
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!!
You mentioned a coconut muffin, and now I can’t think of anything else. Will you please make me one? Yum!
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!
Anything nutty for me! Walnut and coffee cake, crumble with an almond crust or chocolate and hazelnut brownies! nuts for nuts, I am! 🙂
I love the sound of a hazelnut coffee next to a piece of caramel slice! Yum!
i just had apiece of brown sugar and apple cake with a cup of tea but i would think the hazlenut option would be have been divine!
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.
I’d definitely need the caramel and a salted chocolate (soft) pretzel. Salty and sweet is my favourite me time combination.
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.
At the moment I am craving apple pie 🙂
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?
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.
I thought the first pic was carrot cake and i’m now craving some! A slice of carrot cake with hazelnut coffee. Yum!
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.
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.
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?
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!
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!
Salted caramel macarons are my vice and coffee is my addiction. Salted caramel macarons with caramel coffee is my idea of afternoon paradise.
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
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.
Vanilla with a hazelnut brownie 🙂
Would love a peanut butter and chocolate cake
not an entry– but moccona is co-raising my kids. I live on it and have sometimes even been tempted to eat it straight from the jar milo style. Cute jars for shiz too.
Please join me for a slice of Heavenly Tart. A perfectly decadent treat to enjoy with a cup of vanilla-infused Moccona coffee.
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! 😉
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!
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!
With the Hazelnut flavour (which is amazing) I would love to have a piece of banana bread but with a swirl of nutella through it 🙂
With my Caramel infused Moccona coffee,
I’d make my Nana’s apple and cinnamon cake!
It takes me back to being in the kitchen with Nana!
Ooo … My treat to myself is making orange and poppyseed muffins! Devine treat and not too naughty, combined with a caramel flavour it would irresistible at those mummy moments!
I’d have the Caramel flavour coffee with a rich and sweet slice of chocolate cake… and then I’d have the rich and sweet waiter who served it to me too!
I would have my friends over to share a cup with me on our balcony, just as the sun rises, over a nice simple breakfast of coffee, freshly baked wholemeal bread, and homemade jams.

Mmmm Moccona vanilla with strawberry rhubarb cobbler! Perfection!
Mmmm vanilla moccona coffee, I feel all homely and domesticated when I smell and taste vanilla. I would add to an apple, cinnamon butter cake with lashings of vanilla bean ice cream. I just made myself hungry.
Hard to chose which sugary hit,
But Caramel must be the one to try,
With a serving on the side of Jaffa cake,
It would make my day, Oh my!

I’d have to have the caramel flavour, with a slice of freshly baked and buttered coconut bread…delish!

The Hazelnut Moccona is to die for and if I’m going to be in heaven I would have to be having original TimTams, rich, thick and perfect for double dipping.
I’m in the midst of making some Anzac Biscuits (will be choc dipped) they will be a perfect match with a nice cuppa Hazelnut Moccona!

A nice warm croissant with hazelnut flavoured coffee for my morning cuppa would be divine!
Hmmm spoonfuls of sweet vanilla infused pana cotta with stewed winter fruits pairs lovely with a vanilla flavoured Moccona coffee before the bewitching hour hits my active toddler.
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.
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 have Anzac Cookies on my mind, so that is my poison of choice today.
I would have my chocolate and rasberry and white choc muffins or a beautiful lemon slice with my coffee in my favourite mug.
I would have a delicious salted caramel eclair – my latest obsession!
I’m into rich – rich coffee and rich cake. So it’s chocolate mudcake for me with a good, strong coffee.
Can’t think of anything better!
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…
Oh Yes, I’d have a hazelnut with a lamington on the side. Coconut and hazelnut go together very well indeed!
Caramel flavour for me – goes oh so well with my double coffe “mud” cake – hmm reckon I’ll grab a slice of the one I made today and have a nice cup of Moccona as well
Mmmm, the caramel flavour with a piece of caramel slice (a big piece. or a small piece initially followed by a second piece).
And yes, there is room for you at the table. We have a new dining suite that seats 6 and there’s only 3 of us.
The hazelnut Moccona is my flavour and I think some yummy gluten free caramel slice will go down a treat with it. Plenty of room for you are my table too 🙂
Ooohh….too many flavours to choose from. I love caramel, but also hazelnut. I think the Hazelnut infused Moccona would go well with a little baked chocolate tart topped with raspberries 🙂

I have the most delicious coffee cake recipe that would be AWESOME to try making with a flavoured instant coffee (not sure why i didnt think of it before!!!)

Banoffee tart – the best thing to goes with caramel…is more caramel!

I would love to try my very fav Red Velvet cupcake with the vanilla Moccona, a praline cheesecake with the hazelnut Maccona and a good ol hedgehog slice with the caramel Maccona.
Delicious Carrot cake for sure always my favourite can eat it with anything but would love to try it with the Hazelnut Maccona
