Let’s see how to make these works together

  1. Preheat the oven at 180C/375F or 160C/320F (fan oven). Prepare the baking cake pans and line the base with a parchment paper
  2. Add 1 tablespoon of coffee granules to a small bowl and dissolve with hot boiling water then set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, add butter and sugar and beat with a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy for about 3 to 5 minutes
  4. Break the eggs and it to the fluffy butter and sugar mix and beat until combined.
  5. Add sifted flour, baking powder and mix on low speed until combined. Lastly, fold in the melted coffee and mix to combine.
  6. Divide the cake batter equally in the prepared cake tin and bake in the oven (middle shelf) for 20 minutes or until the cake tester/ skewer inserted comes out clean.
  7. Take the cake out of the oven, leave the cake in the tine for about 5 minutes then turn it into a cooling rack to cool completely
  8. How to make the coffee butter cream
  9. Add the butter to a mixing bowl. (Make sure the bowl is dry and moist free) beat until light and fluffy about 5 minutes
  10. Add the powdered sugar, a little at a time to the whipped butter (to avoid the icing sugar going everywhere) and beat until combined. Lastly, add the coffee mixture and milk and continue to mix until the butter cream becomes fluffy, pliable, and smooth.
  11. Assemble the cake
  12. Male sure the cake is completely cooled before icing. Divide the butter cream into 2, sandwich half with the cake and add the remaining on top of the cake, it doesn’t have to be perfect and add some crushed walnut to decorate it.
