Coffee Cake
This coffee cake might be the cheapest cake recipe I have made to date! It’s also so fast to make and uses only a handful of staple ingredients.
If you liked the lemon and yogurt cake that went viral a few months ago, think of this as the coffee version.
This cake is also dairy free!
Total cost: $3 approx
Ingredients:
1 cup brewed strong coffee (I used stove top coffee, but anything will work, including instant.) The stronger the coffee, the stronger the taste of your cake!
½ cup neutral oil (ie canola or sunflower) – you could also use 150g butter melted
1 cup sugar (any sugar, i.e. white or brown sugar or even syrup will work).
2 eggs (or 2 flax eggs or ½ cup apple sauce)
2 cups self-raising flour (or 2 cups plain flour and 2 tsp baking powder)
I forgot salt, but I would add a pinch in
Method:
Brew the coffee and allow to cool down slightly (if you are more patient than me).
To a bowl add the coffee, oil, eggs and sugar and whisk.
Fold through the flour until just combined.
Pour into a lined and greased tin and bake at 180 degrees celsius for around 40-45 minutes or until a skewer, when inserted in the middle, comes out clean.
I like this plain but you can serve this with a coffee glaze (jut mix coffee and icing sugar) or even a chocolate icing,
