COFFEE CAKE



Coffee Cake image

An exceptionally good Coffee Cake sandwiched and topped with a delicious smooth and creamy Coffee Buttercream. I'll share my secrets for baking the best coffee cake you've ever made with some very special tricks and ingredients.

Provided by Amy Treasure

Time 48m

Number Of Ingredients 16

225g (1 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature
225g (1 cup) golden caster sugar
4 large eggs
225g (1.25 cups) self raising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1.5 tablespoons instant coffee dissolved in 1.5 tablespoons boiling water
50g demerara sugar
1 tablespoon instant coffee
3 tabslespoons boiling water
225g (1 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1.5 tablespoons milk
3 teaspoons instant coffee dissolved in 1 tablespoon boiling water
525g (3.5 cups) icing sugar (powdered sugar)
2 tablespoons water
50g golden caster sugar
50g walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 160ºC/140ºFan/Gas 3/320ºF Line two 8 inch (20cm) baking tins with lightly greased baking paper.
  • Add the butter, golden caster sugar, eggs, self-raising flour, baking powder and dissolved coffee into a large mixing bowl. Beat all the ingredients together until well mixed.
  • Divide the cake batter between the two prepared baking tins. This will be approx. 420g of batter into each tin. Bake in the centre of the preheated oven for 28 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cakes comes out clean. Properly baked cakes will shrink away from the sides of the tin slightly and feel springy when touched with your finger. Remove from the oven and leave in the tins while you make the coffee sugar syrup.
  • To make the coffee sugar syrup add the demerara sugar, instant coffee and boiling water to a jug and whisk vigorously until the coffee and sugar have dissolved. Leaving the sponges in their tins, prick them all over with a fork then brush the coffee sugar syrup on top. Set aside while you make the coffee buttercream.
  • To make the coffee buttercream add the butter, milk, dissolved coffee and icing sugar to a large bowl and beat for several minutes until smooth. You can use a handheld electric whisk for this or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. When the cakes are completely cool, turn them out of their tins, place one cake on a cake stand or plate and spread it with half of the buttercream. Place the other cake on top and spread over the remaining buttercream.
  • To make the walnut praline add the water and golden caster sugar to a small saucepan set over a very low heat. Let the mixture come to the boil for a minute or two, swirl the pan to keep the sugar from catching on the bottom but don't stir it. Take it off the heat, add the walnuts and stir them through the hot sugar mixture. Pour the nuts onto a piece of baking paper and leave to cool. When they are cool enough to handle transfer them one by one and use them to decorate around the edge of the cake.

  • Using a cake mixer, mix all the ingredients together except the coffee. The mix should be not too firm and not too runny. Once mixed slowly mix in half of the dissolved coffee.
  • Divide the cake mixture between 2 lined small cake tins (about 7" ish). Heat the oven to 190 degrees and bake for about 20 minutes. A skewer should come out clean when dipped in the cake.
  • Once cooked remove from the oven and stand on a wire rack for a few minutes until cool then turn out on the rack till completely cool.
  • Once the cakes are cool make the butter Icing by combining the softened butter with the icing sugar. When mixed gradually add half of the remaining coffee mixture. Sandwich the 2 halves together with the butter icing and dust the top with icing sugar.
  • If you want a larger cake then just double the quantities, and if you want a really buttery cake then make extra butter icing and top the cake too!

Whip up a classic coffee cake with ease. You can freeze the sponges if you want to save time later on. Ideal for a bake sale, birthday party or coffee morning

Provided by sianie

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert, Treat

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

170g butter or margarine, plus extra for the tins
170g caster sugar
3 large eggs
170g self-raising flour
1 tbsp cooled instant coffee, dissolved in 1 tbsp hot water (add more if you like it stronger)
225g icing sugar
100g butter or margarine
1½ tbsp instant coffee, dissolved in 1 tbsp hot water
strawberry jam (optional)
walnuts or cherries, to decorate (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan. Line and butter two 18cm sandwich tins. Add the sugar and butter to a bowl and whisk until very fluffy and pale.
  • Whisk the eggs in a mug with a fork, then add them gradually to the mixture with 1 tbsp of flour each time. (Make sure you don't use all the flour.) When the eggs have been fully combined into the mix, add the rest of the flour and fold it in gently.
  • Add the dissolved coffee to the mixture, still folding. Divide into the sandwich tins and cook for 25-30 min until risen and firm and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin for 5 mins then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Can be frozen at this stage.
  • Meanwhile, make the icing by beating the icing sugar with the butter until light and fluffy, then add the dissolved coffee. Whisk, then cover and set aside until ready to ice the cake.
  • Spread half the icing on the bottom of one sponge and spread the strawberry jam on the bottom of the other, if using. Sandwich together, then spread the remaining icing on top. Decorate with walnuts or cherries, if you like.
