I have been searching for an easy recipe for Coffee Cake. I have tried six different recipes on YouTube until I found this one. This is the easiest recipe you can ever find. I tweak the recipe to be less sweet with added pure cocoa flavour.
The easiest Coffee Cake for any beginner
Let’s have a piece with a cup of Latte.

Ingredients
- 4g instant coffee powder (I use Nescafe Classic Coffee)
- 6g pure cocoa powder
- 100g cake flour
- 1¼ tsp baking powder
- 2 Grade B eggs
- 110g unsalted butter
- 50g castor sugar (the original recipe is 110g brown sugar)
- 4 tsp fresh milk
Easy to follow instructions
01 Preheat the oven to 160°C.
02 Place all ingredients into a large mixing bowl.
03 The sequence goes with instant coffee powder, cocoa powder, melted butter, sugar, flour, baking powder, milk and eggs.
04 Beat with an electric mixer on a low speed.
05 I use a 6″ mould. Bake the batter for 30 minutes.
06 Once the cake is cooked, remove the cake from the oven. Set it cool for ten minutes.
07 Make yourself a cup of coffee. Your cake is ready to serve. It’s time for an afternoon tea with the family.
