Coffee cake

Assalamu Alaikum everyone! How are you all? I hope you are all doing well. Alhamdulillah I am also doing very well.
Today I am sharing a very delicious cake recipe with you. It is a coffee cake. I personally love coffee cake because it has a lovely coffee flavor and is perfect with a cup of tea or coffee. So let’s start the recipe.
First you will need four eggs. Put the eggs in a bowl and beat them well. Then add one cup of sugar and a little vanilla essence. Beat everything together until the mixture becomes light in color and nice and fluffy. This step is very important because it will make your cake soft and fluffy.

Now in another bowl take two cups of all-purpose flour and sift it well. Add one teaspoon of baking powder and mix it with the flour.

Next we need to prepare our coffee mixture. Take some warm milk and add coffee to it. Mix it well until the coffee is completely dissolved. You can also add some sugar to the coffee according to your taste. Once the coffee is ready add it to the egg and sugar mixture.

Now add half cup of oil and mix everything well. Make sure all the liquid ingredients are properly combined.
After that slowly add the sifted flour and baking powder to the wet mixture. At this stage do not use an electric beater. Instead gently mix everything together with a spatula or spoon. Mix with light hands until there are no lumps and you get a smooth cake batter. Do not overmix the batter because it can make the cake heavy.
Now take your cake pan and grease it well with some oil. You can also line the bottom with baking paper if you want. Pour the coffee cake batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.You can decorate this cake with chocolate chips. I did not have chocolate chips at home so I decorated it with raisins instead.

Before putting the cake in the oven remember to preheat your oven. Preheat it at 180°C for about 10 minutes. Once the oven is properly preheated place the cake pan inside.
One very important thing to remember is that you should not open the oven door during the first 15 minutes. If you keep opening the oven the cake may not rise properly and can become flat.
Bake the cake for about 30 minutes. After 30 minutes check the cake with a toothpick or a skewer. If the toothpick comes out clean your cake is ready. If it is still a little wet inside bake it for another 5 to 10 minutes.
And there you have it! Our delicious and soft coffee cake is ready.

It is perfect for tea time and has such a lovely coffee flavor. We really enjoyed it and I hope you will enjoy it too.
Do try this recipe at home and let me know in the comments how your coffee cake turned out. I would love to hear from you.
