Last month I had been at my Friend's place. It was Aunty's B'day (My friend's mother). And this girl had baked a surprise cake for her Mom. It was simply delicious and I thought I'll ask her the recipe. Today morning I got a mail from her (Girls are never on time -- ). But she remembered forwarding me the recipe. I would love to share this and many more on this blog. This is a coffee cake recipe by Pille from the Blog nami-nami . The recipe was originally from a Finnish food magazine in early 1990s. There's something about eating a coffee cake while drinking coffee, you see.
Note : simple ground coffee is used in the cake, not the instant kind.
Coffee Cake Recipe -
(Kohvikook)
250 g unsalted butter, at room temperature
250 ml / 1 cup / 225 g caster sugar
3 eggs
500 ml / 2 cups all-purpose/plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
3 heaped Tbsp ground coffee
2 tsp vanilla sugar
50 ml / 3-4 Tbsp milk
For the frosting -
4 Tbsp cold coffee or coffee liquorappr. 200 g icing sugar
For decoration -
Coffee bean shaped chocolate
- Cream butter and sugar until pale, then whisk in eggs, one at a time.
- Measure dry ingredients into a bowl, mix thoroughly and then stir into the butter and egg mixture alongside with milk. The resulting batter is quite thick, but still spoon able.
- Spoon the batter into a buttered small oven tray (e.g. 30x30 cm).
- Bake in the middle of a pre-heated 175 C oven for about 25 minutes, until the cake is cooked (test for doneness with a small wooden cocktail stick).
- Let cool.
- Mix the coffee and icing sugar into a glossy frosting and drizzle over the cake.
- Decorate with chocolate 'coffee beans'.
Try it as Sunday morning food -- trust me, its delicious..!! I truly love coffee cake...
