Moist Coffee Cake

 

Ingredients:

115 g. Unsalted butter (room temperature)

100 g. caster sugar

1 tbsp. oil

2 large eggs

190 g. plain flour (sifted)

1 tsp. baking powder (sifted)

1/2 tsp. salt

1 tbsp. instant coffee

1/2 cup milk

1 tsp. vanilla extract

Methods:

1. In a mixer bowl, add butter, caster sugar and oil.  Beat until light and fluffy.  Scrap the sides of the bowl with a spatula to ensure even beating.
2. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat well after each addition.
3. Add in flour, baking powder, salt and instant coffee.  Stir with a rubber spatula until just combined.  
4. Add in milk and vanilla extract.  With the hand mixer, mix until just combined.  Do not over mix.  Scrap sides and bottom of the bowl using a spatula.
5. Grease a loaf pan with butter.
6. Pour the batter into the pan and spread the top evenly.  Tap on the counter top to release excess bubbles.
7. Bake in a preheated oven of 170 degree Celsius for 40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Remove from oven and let it cool down completely on a wire rack.
9. Slice and enjoy!

I adapted this recipe from 'Savor Easy' with a slight adjustment to suit my baking preference.
