Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.75 cup milk at room temperature
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, instant coffee, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In another bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined.
  • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Stir in the boiling coffee water until the batter is smooth and well mixed.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

This cake pairs well with fresh berries and whipped cream for an added touch of sweetness.
