Coffee Cake Recipe

A couple of people have asked for my coffee cake recipe - what a great excuse to bake another one!


Begin by preheating the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.  Grease a 7" diameter ring cake tin with butter, and line the base with baking paper.

Sift 6oz flour and 1 tsp baking powder into the cake mixing bowl.

Add 5oz sugar, 4oz soft butter, 1 Tbsp instant coffee, 2 eggs, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 cup milk.

Beat with electric cake mixer for 2 minutes, by which time the mixture should be smooth and a light coffee colour.

Spoon into the prepared cake tin and level off the surface.

Bake at 180C until cooked, about 25-30 minutes. 
Turn out onto a cake rack and leave to cool.

Make an icing using 2oz soft butter, 3oz icing sugar and 1 tsp instant coffee. 

Double the icing if wanting to ice the sides as well.
Decorate cake with halved glace cherries or walnut halves

Enjoy cooking - and eating the results!

  1. Thank you Margaret, I'll have a go at that this week. My scales convert from Metric to Imperial at the press of a button, so I'll manage just fine.

  9. That sounds delicious Margaret - unfortunately with all the allergies in the house it's a 'no go' ... maybe if I need to take a plate at some point...
