Dirt, oh, umm, make that sand cake

So I woke up this morning craving coffee cake. I never make it so I thought it'd be a treat for the boys,well one boy. My big guy is not one for new and exciting flavors.
Anyway when it started cooking they came and looked at it. I decided that they'd be more likely to eat it if it had a silly name. I called it dirt cake. They thought it looked more like sand cake because it was lighter brown.
So when it was done both boys decided to make it look more like dirt. They had different approaches. One used chocolate syrup and drizzled it over the top. The other chose a bit of chocolate frosting. If you notice they also had eggs so breakfast wasn't a complete sugarfest. They thought the cake was just okay but I think they were expecting something much sweeter.
My husband was on the phone with his mom while all this was happening. When he walked into the kitchen he said "I thought I heard you say coffee cake. You made it already? Yummmm!" He and I preceded to eat two pieces apiece! Yum indeed!
