Coffee Cake

 

Ingredients:

 

For the cupcake:

 

1 1/2 cups of wheat flour

1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder

1/2 teaspoon of baking soda

1/4 teaspoon of salt

1/2 cup butter (at room temperature)

1 cup of sugar

2 large eggs

1/2 cup freshly brewed coffee (chilled at room temperature)

1/2 cup of milk

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

For the icing:

1 cup whipping cream (well cold)

2 spoons of glass sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons instant coffee dissolved in 1 tablespoon hot water

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

 

Instructions:

 

Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a round mold 22-24 cm in diameter.

 

Prepare the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

 

Beat butter and sugar:. In another bowl, beat butter with sugar until you get a creamy, smooth mixture.

 

Add eggs and vanilla: Add eggs one by one, beating well after each addition. Then insert vanilla extract.

 

Mix coffee and milk: In a cup, mix milk with cold coffee.

 

Incorporate dry and liquid ingredients: Add the flour mixture to the batter in three parts, alternating with the coffee and milk mixture. Beginning and ending with flour.

 

Baking: Pour the mixture into the prepared mold and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a chopstick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the mold for 10 minutes before de-molding and let cool completely on a grid.

 

Prepare coffee cream frosting: In a cold bowl, beat the cream to whip at medium-high speed until it begins to thicken. Add the glazing sugar and keep beating until the cream is almost firm.

 

Add dissolved coffee: Dissolve instant coffee in a spoonful of hot water and, once cooled, add it to the whipped cream along with vanilla extract. Beat until the cream is firm and well blended.

 

Apply Frosting: Once the cake is completely cool, spread the coffee cream frosting evenly over the cake.

 

To decorate, you can add chocolate chips or sprinkle some cocoa powder.
