For an even richer flavor, try using brewed coffee instead of water for the syrup. A scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream makes a delightful addition. The baking time may vary depending on your oven. Check for doneness after 40 minutes. Feel free to add a pinch of cinnamon or a dash of espresso powder to the batter for extra depth of flavor.
