Moist Coffee Loaf Cake Recipes

COFFEE LOAF CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F/160°C. Grease an 8½ x 4¼-inch loaf pan.
• In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
• In a small bowl combine milk and coffee.
• Using a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar on medium speed for 3 minutes until fluffy. Occasionally scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl. Add eggs and vanilla extract and beat until combined. On low speed, beat in flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with the milk mixture in 2 additions, starting and ending with the flour. Once all is added, be careful not to overmix the batter.
• Scrape batter into prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 45-60 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out dry. If the cake is browning too much while baking, cover the top loosely with aluminium foil. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack. Serve cake at room temperature. The coffee flavor gets stronger over time, after about 24 hours.
• Store cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Cake can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge.

COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan. Line and butter two 18cm sandwich tins. Add the sugar and butter to a bowl and whisk until very fluffy and pale.
• Whisk the eggs in a mug with a fork, then add them gradually to the mixture with 1 tbsp of flour each time. (Make sure you don't use all the flour.) When the eggs have been fully combined into the mix, add the rest of the flour and fold it in gently.
• Add the dissolved coffee to the mixture, still folding. Divide into the sandwich tins and cook for 25-30 min until risen and firm and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin for 5 mins then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Can be frozen at this stage.
• Meanwhile, make the icing by beating the icing sugar with the butter until light and fluffy, then add the dissolved coffee. Whisk, then cover and set aside until ready to ice the cake.
• Spread half the icing on the bottom of one sponge and spread the strawberry jam on the bottom of the other, if using. Sandwich together, then spread the remaining icing on top. Decorate with walnuts or cherries, if you like.
