Coffee cake

Hello, it's me again !


Further to previous comment, here is the recipe of the coffee cake with an improvised coffee/chocolate icing. 

The base recipe is a yoghurt cake and we add the flavour at the end. You can change the taste by adding vanilla, orange blossom water or almond extract, whatever make you happy! 

That goes perfectly with your tea or coffee for tea time in the afternoon. You can decline it in several ways, cut it in the middle to add a coffee flavour cream and make it even more tasty !

For this recipe we are using the yogourt pot as measurement for all the other ingredients. 
If you live in a country where they don't sell natural ou vanilla yoghurt in pot you can use a small glass to measure. 
In France these one feet perfectly : 












For the cake, you'll need : 

• 1 natural yoghurt pot
• 2 pots of sugar
• 2 pots of self-raising flour 
• 1/2 pot of oil (neutral taste) (or butter is better)
• 3 eggs
• 3 tablespoons of instant coffee

You'll have to : 

In a large bowl, mix eggs with yoghurt, add flour and sugar and oil (or butter).

If the instant coffee is powdered, mix it straightly to the previous dough.

If it is in grain, add some water drops to dilute it (if your having a sticky dough that's fine) and add that to the previous dough.

Pour the dough into a prepared dish (grease and dusted) 

Bake for 40 min in a pre warmed oven at 180°C, watching it. Remove from the oven when an inserted knife comes out clean.

For the icing, I used 80 g of chocolate, 30 g of butter and some diluted coffee (2 spoon-tables, let's say). Melt everything in a "bain-marie" (put a small saucepan filled of a bit of water on low heat and put the bowl upon the saucepan). 

Once the cake has cooled, you can pour the icing on it and that's it!
