Who else loves coffee cake? It's everything you want in a cake; soft, moist and with the most amazing coffee flavoured buttercream!
This cake is super easy to make and will go perfectly with any occassion; birthday, dessert, picnic, comfort food or just with a cup of coffee.
Prep time for this cake is less than 10 minutes, with 30 minutes bake time and the decorating. You could have this cake ready to eat in 1 hour!
This is a great cake to let your kids help with, it's super easy and they will love to help pipe the swirls on at the end!
This cake serves 10
To make this coffee cake;
In a small bowl mix the chia seeds and cold water. Set aside for 5 minutes to make a flax egg. You can use flax seed instead.
In a large bowl, cream the sugar and butter until smooth.
Add the flax egg and mix to combine.
Sift the flour and baking powder into the bowl.
Add the milk on top.
Make figure of 8’s to fold the flour, baking powder and milk in.
Add the cold coffee and gently mix to combine. If you want an even stronger coffee falvour you can double the amount that goes in the cake.
Divide the cake batter evenly between the two cake tins. I managed about 1 ¾ Cups of batter per tin.
Before you add the buttercream make sure the cake is completely cooled.
Spread half the buttercream over the first layer of cake, add the second cake on top.
If it's too soft you can place the fridge in the cake to allow the buttercream to firm a little.
Pipe the last of the buttercream on top of the cake. You can do this however you would like.
I hope you love this as much as I do!
