| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Grease and flour a 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pan. |
| 2 | Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). |
| 3 | In a large mixing bowl, beat together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, Crisco shortening, salt, half-and-half cream, baking powder, 2 tablespoons of instant coffee powder, and vanilla extract using an electric mixer for 1 minute until well combined. |
| 4 | Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then beat the mixture on high speed for an additional three minutes until smooth and creamy. |
| 5 | Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. |
| 6 | Bake in the preheated oven for 70 minutes, or until a tester inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. |
| 7 | Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for ten minutes, then carefully remove it from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. |
| 8 | While the loaf is cooling, prepare the glaze by combining the icing sugar, butter, 2 teaspoons of instant coffee powder, and tap water in a small bowl. Beat the mixture until smooth and creamy. |
