Instructions:
-
Prepare the Coffee:
Begin by brewing 330g of coffee using a moka pot. Once brewed, transfer the coffee to a carafe and allow it to cool to room temperature. -
Mix the Wet Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, add the sugar and pour in the cooled coffee. Stir well to ensure that the sugar dissolves completely. -
Combine the Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, sift the all-purpose flour and baking powder together to ensure there are no lumps. This step will help the cake rise evenly and have a smooth texture. -
Grease and Flour the Cake Pan:
Take a 24cm diameter round cake pan and pour a small amount of sunflower seed oil into it. Use a paper towel or kitchen cloth to evenly spread the oil across the entire surface of the pan. Then, lightly dust the pan with flour by adding a spoonful of flour and shaking the pan to coat it, tapping out the excess. -
Prepare the Cake Batter:
Now, add the flour and baking powder mixture to the wet ingredients in the large bowl. Stir the ingredients together to form a smooth batter. If needed, use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl and ensure the batter is well-combined. -
Bake the Cake:
Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top and ensure the batter is evenly distributed. Preheat your oven to 180ยฐC (350ยฐF) and bake the cake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan. -
Prepare the Coffee Glaze:
While the cake cools, brew an additional 40g of coffee using your moka pot. Once brewed, allow it to cool. In a separate bowl, sift the powdered sugar to remove any lumps. Gradually add the cooled coffee to the powdered sugar, mixing constantly until you achieve a smooth and glossy glaze. The consistency should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon but still pourable. -
Glaze the Cake:
Once the cake has cooled completely, gently turn it out of the pan and place it on a serving plate. Pour the coffee glaze over the top of the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Use the back of a spoon to help spread the glaze evenly across the surface. -
Decorate the Cake:
To finish, decorate the top of the cake with a few whole coffee beans for a rustic touch. This adds a nice visual contrast and enhances the coffee flavor. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Your Coffee Water Cake is now ready to be enjoyed! Slice it into generous pieces and serve with a cup of your favorite coffee or tea for a perfect pairing.
This Coffee Water Cake is simple to make, with rich flavors that will delight coffee lovers. The light texture and aromatic coffee glaze make it a perfect treat for any occasion. Whether it’s an afternoon dessert or part of a special celebration, this cake will surely be a crowd-pleaser!
