COFFEE CAKE

December is here and we are experiencing our Instagram and Facebook feeds flooded with yummy cake posts. So I thought to bake my favorite cake and enjoy my piece of cake with everyone. I have not used any coffee essence for baking this, only Nescafe coffee powder and some chocolate chips and I just loved the cake.

Also note, this is baked in Kadhai, not microwave.

Ingredients :

1. Wheat flour - 1 cup
2. Sugar - 1/2 cup
3. Baking powder - 1 tsp
4. Butter - 1/2 cup
5. Milk (boiled and cold) - 1/2 cup
6. Chocolate chips- 1 tsp
7. Eggs - 2 
8. Salt - pinch of
9. Nescafe coffee powder - 1 tsp

Process :

1. Grease the cake tray. Dust with flour evenly and set aside.

2. Pour milk and suger in a mixing bowl and stir until sugar dissolves. Add flour, baking powder and salt. Gently mix until the flour is combined well. Start adding eggs one by one and keep mixing. Lastly add coffee powder and mix well.

3. Once the batter is ready, pour this in the cake tray.

4. Heat the heavy bottom kadai for 10 minutes and then place a steel stand (optional) inside the kadai and place the cake tray. If you do not have a steel stand, you can directly place cake tray in the kadhai. Sprinkle chocolate chips at the top and cover with a lid.

5. Let it cook for 15 to 20 minutes. After 15 minutes you can check by putting a knife side the cake, if the knife comes out clean, means the cake is done, else you can cook for another 5 minutes. 

Your Coffee cake is ready to serve. You can garnish it with some more chocolate chips and dust with coffee powder.
