Coffee cake

The rich aroma while baking the cake is intoxicating for any coffee lover. Here, we are waiting for the cake to cool down, take a quick pic and then grab a slice ;-)

We had visited the Chillon Castle on Lake Geneva, near town Montreaux during one of our weekend trips. The view of the Alps from the huge open castle windows was breath-taking.  This poster, a bookmark and many photographs were the take-away from the visit.

Dry ingredients are :

All-purpose flour - 1 cup

Baking powder - 1 tsp

Cinnamon powder - a pinch

Sugar - 3/4 cup

Butter - 1/2 cup

Combine dry ingredients.

In wet bowl, combine sugar and butter until creamy. Break eggs one by one and whisk. Add essence and combine.

In hot water, stir in coffee powder until it dissolves. Add it to wet bowl.

 

 

 

 

Add flour mix to wet ingredients in batches. 

 

 

 

 

Stir in milk too in between so that you get a smooth cake batter.

 

 

 

 

Spoon batter into cake tin or cupcake moulds.
