What Makes Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee Perfect for Dessert?

Known for its mild acidity, silky body, and nuanced flavor profile, Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee adds elegance to more than just your morning ritual. When infused into desserts, it contributes complexity without overpowering sweetness—balancing beautifully with rich dairy and soft textures. Our Xaymaca roast, made from 100% Blue Mountain beans, is the perfect match for this coffee-soaked cake.

Recipe: Coffee Tres Leches Cake with Xaymaca Elegance

Ingredients:

For the Cake:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ cup sugar
• 3 eggs
• ½ cup milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Soak:

• ½ cup brewed Xaymaca Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee
• 1 can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 can evaporated milk

To Serve:

• Whipped cream (optional, but highly recommended)

Directions:

1. Bake the sponge: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, beat eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Add milk and vanilla extract. Gently fold in flour and baking powder. Pour the batter into a greased baking dish and bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
2. Prepare the soak: While the cake cools, mix the brewed Xaymaca coffee with sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk.
3. Infuse with flavor: Using a fork or skewer, poke holes throughout the cooled cake. Slowly pour the coffee-milk mixture over the entire surface, allowing it to seep in.
4. Chill and serve: Refrigerate the cake overnight to fully absorb the liquid. Serve slices cold, topped with a generous dollop of whipped cream and a fresh dusting of finely ground coffee if desired.
