Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoons instant coffee powder
- 2 tablespoons hot water
- 0.5 cups whole milk
- 0.25 cups vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 whole large eggs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, dissolve the instant coffee powder in the hot water and set it aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, mix the cooled coffee mixture, milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth and creamy.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently whisk until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the coffee cake on its own or with a dusting of powdered sugar on top. Enjoy!
