Ingredients:

- 5 eggs 🥚
- 3 cups sugar 🍚
- 1 cup flour 🌾
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 🧂
- 1 teaspoon baking powder 🥄
Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients: Start by heating the milk and oil in a saucepan until warm. Stir in the instant coffee powder until fully dissolved, then remove from heat and set aside.

Beat Eggs and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until they are well combined and the mixture becomes fluffy and pale in color. This step is crucial for achieving a light and airy texture in your coffee cake. 🥚🍰
-
Fold in Dry Ingredients: Gently sift the flour, salt, and baking powder together. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the beaten eggs and sugar, ensuring everything is thoroughly incorporated. Take your time with this step to maintain the cake’s airy texture. 🥄

Incorporate Milk Mixture: Now, pour the warm milk mixture into the batter, gently folding it in until fully combined. The addition of coffee-infused milk adds a rich flavor and aroma to the cake, elevating it to a whole new level of deliciousness! ☕🍰
-
Bake to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Pour the batter into a prepared baking pan and smooth out the top with a spatula. Place it in the oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Frosting Finale: Once the cake is baked and cooled, it’s time to add the finishing touch! Prepare a butter icing flavored with coffee powder and a hint of cinnamon. Spread it generously over the cooled cake, adding a layer of indulgent sweetness that perfectly complements the rich coffee flavor. 🧁✨
