Driv\u00ading around the streets in search of a caf\u00e9 we noticed every strip mall had a sushi bar (some of dubi\u00adous qual\u00adity), but we had to drive to a large mall to find a cof\u00adfee bar.

Where I grew up (New Zea\u00adl\u00adand) and lived (Aus\u00adtralia) and, I assume, in many oth\u00ader parts of the Eng\u00adlish-speak\u00ading world, a <i>cof\u00adfee cake<\/i> is a cake that has cof\u00adfee as one of its main ingredi\u00adents. I have a recipe book from Great Bri\u00adtain with a recipe for cof\u00adfee car\u00adrot cake, for example, which has cof\u00adfee in it, and no streusel on top.
