Tuesdays with Dorie: Cinnamon Espresso Squares

This week's Tuesdays with Dorie assignment was Cinnamon Squares, a plain, buttery, almost coffeecake-like cake, with a ribbon of cinnamon, espresso, and chocolate. I wasn't all that excited about it, partly because the picture in the book looks dry, but it was very alluring, especially when warm. Dorie pairs it with a chocolate icing, but I liked it unadorned.

I'm watching the end of Milos Forman's Hair as I type this, and wish I had something more revolutionary to add, but this is pretty basic bake sale stuff. In the sharing bake sale spirit, you can find the recipe here.
