    Hello – I do not have a coffee machine/grinder so what do you recommend I use in place of the freshly ground coffee?? 🙂

      Hi Elle, you could definitely use a teaspoon of regular coffee (like Nescafe) or a ground coffee (like Illy or Lavazza)
      Hope that helps and happy baking

    I love this recipe because my mother who is gluten intolerant as well as being disabled can no longer stand up long enough to bake. It never fails to make her smile when I make her this delicious traybake though.
