Coffee Cake with Cinnamon Coffee Butter Cream.

Recipe submitted by jackicam

Pin It

This is just a good basic butter cake with a caramel/coffee flavour. I used coffee flavoured milk in the icing to get a delicate hint of coffee without it being overpowering - and so you don't start buzzing after a piece or two.....

Serves 8

Ingredients

125g butter - chopped and at room temp.
2 tsp vanilla extract
150g dark brown sugar.
2 eggs.
150g self raising flour.
30g custard powder.
3 tsp instant coffee powder.
130ml milk.
butter cream:
125 g butter - chopped and very soft.
240g icing sugar mixture.
2 tbsp coffee flavoured milk (dare or moove etc)
1/2 tsp cinnamon.
Shaved chocolate.

Notes & Tips

Really beating the butter for the icing will give you a soft, fluffy result because you're incorporating lots of air into it.
