The water just needs to be warm enough to dissolve the espresso powder. Warm is ok. The water just needs to be warm enough to dissolve the espresso powder.

The praline pieces make it look gorgeous and I didn't realize there were so few steps involved in making them! I'm going to give it a try on the weekend. One question - when I add the water and espresso mixture to the batter, should I wait for it to cool or is it okay to go in hot or warm? Thanks :) This cake looks awesome!

I agree about the cake itself, which is why I modified the recipe somewhat. The photography is the hardest part of cooking (for me), LOL. Sometimes I have to cook without the camera, just for the sheer pleasure of cooking and forget about the blog. Feel free to post your photos on the Facebook Fan page! Thank you.
