  • 3 ml salt
  • 175 ml brown sugar
  • 100 ml white sugar
  • 200 ml butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 150 ml milk
  • 100 ml instant coffee granules
  • 50 ml hot water

Coffee Buttercream:

  • 200 ml butter
  • 250 ml icing sugar
  • 60 ml instant coffee granules
  • 30 ml hot water
  • 2 ml vanilla extract
  • 1 ml salt

Method

  • Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius and spray a 20cm cake pan with non-stick spray or coat with butter followed by a light flour dusting.
  • In a big bowl, sift the flour, baking powder and salt together and set aside.
  • In another large bowl, beat the butter until soft and creamy for about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the sugars to the butter and beat for another 2-3 minutes until the mixture starts to look light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs, beat for 1 minute after each addition.
  • Now add the milky coffee mix with vanilla essence.
  • Fold the wet mix into the sifted flour mix and continue until combined well.
  • Spoon your batter into your cake pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Test the middle of your cake with a toothpick, if it comes out dry, your cake is done.
  • Once the cake is done, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Flip it out on a plate and let it cool to room temperature before icing.

Coffee Buttercream

  • Whip the butter until soft and fluffy. Do not skip this step.
  • Add the icing sugar gradually.
  • Add the coffee mix, vanilla and salt and beat well.
  • Select an icing tip, insert into your piping bag and fill with icing.
