Serves:
87.5
butter (softened)
87.5
caster sugar
1.5
eggs
87.5
self-raising flour
0.5
tbsp
instant coffee
Equipment needed: Oven, cake tin(s), mixing bowl & electric mixer
Preheat your oven to 180°C fan/200°C non fan/gas mark 4.
Cream butter and sugar in electric mixer until lighter in colour and fluffy.
Add eggs (one at a time), mixing well between each addition. If mixture starts to curdle, add a tablespoon or two of flour to the mix.
Add water to instant coffee to make a thick paste. Add the coffee paste to the mixture and stir until just combined.
Add the flour and mix until just combined.
Place in cake tin and bake for around an hour (check the cake after 40 minutes to ensure that it’s not getting too dark on top. If so, cover with a layer of tin foil) until the top is golden and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Please note these timings are based on a recipe for one cake tin to serve 15-16, so timings may need to be adjusted depending on the quantity cooking for.
Once cake is cooled, slice it in half through the middle and fill with coffee buttercream icing or dust with icing sugar.
