I am a huge coffee fan, slightly addicted and love anything flavoured with it. This cake was totally delicious, soft and fluffy and just the right amount of coffee.
- 225g plain flour
- 225g soft brown sugar
- 1 & 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 4 medium eggs at room temperature
- 225g sunflower oil
- 1 tbsp. instant coffee dissolved in 1 tbsp. boiling water
- Glaze
- 250g icing sugar
- 2 tbsp. instant coffee dissolved in 1 tbsp. boiling water
- 1tbsp milk
- Pre-heat your oven to 180 degrees.
- Prepare your Bundt tin by buttering the dish well, then shaking a spoon of flour all over the base, try to cover every part. Empty out any extra flour by hitting the pan upside down.
- Sieve the flour and baking powder, then mix well with the sugar, make sure all the dry ingredients are well combined.
- Whisk the eggs, then add the sunflower oil and coffee.
- Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour in the egg liquid, whisk this to be a smooth batter, scraping the sides down of the bowl as you go. (If using chopped walnuts add them at this point)
- Pour into the Bundt dish and place into the oven for 35 minutes. It is cooked once a skewer comes out clean.
- For the glaze whisk the icing sugar with the milk and the coffee. Place into a pouring jug.
Whilst cake is still warm place on a wire rack above a dish (to catch the extra glaze)
Pour the glaze evenly over the cake, this will soak into the sponge a little.
Next let the cake cool more then carefully remove the tray and scrap the glaze remains back into the jug and pour over again. I repeated this 4/5 times so the topping is thick.
Sprinkle cocoa powder on the last layer.
Serve!
