This coffee cake is the perfect cake to make for a light afternoon snack or to entertain guests. Made with freshly brewed coffee and brown sugar this one is moist with a wonderful aroma of coffee.
Dry ingredients - combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices (cinnamon, nutmeg)
In the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, whip the eggs, then gradually add the sugar followed by the oil. Pro tip -Adding the sugar and oil gradually will prevent the eggs from curdling and whip volume into the eggs.
Then, add the flour and cooled coffee followed by the vanilla extract. You can sprinkle some chopped nuts such as walnuts on the top before baking. Pro tip - I chopped some walnuts finely and sprinkled them on the cake before baking.
Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the skewer inserted inside the cake comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 5 minutes then invert onto a cooling rack and cool completely. Cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
