Nevermind

The cake is done and by preliminary taste tests it should be excellent.  For the cake batter I used 1/3 cup ground sumatra (espresso grind), maybe should have used more, nonetheless, the recipe called for 1 c boiling water to stir in at the end, there should have been some wonderful flavors extracted into the batter.  I did choose to add 1 heaping tablespoon of sumatra (turkish grind) - the flavor is great and any grind larger would give the frosting a gritty texture.   It gets served tomorrow.  Will get back w/ feedback and full recipe!
