Coffee Cake

That is my coffee flavoured cake made with custard powder..as I said I would be trying... a variation of the plain Custard powder Cake. I added an egg after creaming the butter and sugar and what I got is a super-moist cake...which was delicious. The only snag is that I used only the original quantity of sugar mentioned in the earlier recipe and so it was less sweet than usual but nevertheless delicious. I think it would be wonderful to layer it with vanilla buttercream after soaking it with some orange juice and finally topping with chocolate ganache... :) A perfect dessert...try it.


Coffee Cake
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup vanilla flavoured custard powder
  • 2 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1-2 tsp cocoa powder 
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar ( you can add 1-2 tablespoons more if you want to)
  • 1  tsp vanilla extract
  • 150 gm butter, at room temperature
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup strong coffee
This recipe makes one 9” cake or 8 to 10 servings.
  • Preheat the oven to 180 C (350 F). Grease a 9" cake tin with butter and line the base with wax paper.
  • Put the dry ingredients except sugar in a bowl. Use a wooden spoon and mix well.
  • Beat the butter until light in a large bowl and then add the sugar and beat well until fluffy.Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat again. 
  • Now combine the milk with coffee. 
  • Add the dry ingredients to the butter mix (in 3 batches) alternating with the coffee-milk mixture(in two batches).
  • Pour the batter into the cake tin and bake at 180C (350F) for about 45 minutes to an hour or till the cake is done and a skewer poked into the cake comes out clean. Sometimes, depending upon your cake tin and the oven, this cake might take about an hour to cook especially in the middle.
  • Cool on a rack and serve.
