Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Instant coffee granules
- 120 milliliters Boiling water
- 115 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 75 grams Brown sugar (light or dark)
- 2 Eggs, large
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 120 milliliters Whole milk
- 75 grams Optional: Chocolate chips or chopped nuts
Instructions
In a small bowl, dissolve the instant coffee granules in the boiling water and let it cool to room temperature.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract and cooled coffee mixture until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in 3 portions, alternating with the milk in 2 portions (beginning and ending with the dry ingredients). Mix just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If using chocolate chips or nuts, gently fold them into the batter with a spatula.
Grease a standard loaf pan (about 9x5 inches) and pour the batter into it, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Cover tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate the batter overnight to allow the flavors to develop.
The next day, preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Remove the loaf pan from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.
Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs.
Let the coffee loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve on its own or with a spread of butter. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
