Ingredients

  • 2 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • ½ tsp Baking soda
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • ½ tsp Cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp Nutmeg grated
  • ½ cup Cooking oil
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1 cup Brown sugar
  • ½ cup Coffee (brewed and cooled)
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven at 165°C/325°F/ Gas Mark 3
  • Grease and line an 8 x 4-inch loaf pan or an 8-inch round cake pan.
  • 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.
