My new experiment with coffee cake

I am normally quite good at making tea as my husband says , few friends too and most importantly my mother-in-law. But very bad at making coffee. That's why I always prefer to sip a cup of cappuccino in CCD/Starbucks whenever we go out. I have been noticing one full coffee bottle in my kitchen cupboard for last few days which I bought but never opened it. Yesterday I suddenly had a craving for coffee cake and I thought to bake it at home only without following any particular recipe. No eggs in the fridge as well coz I normally do not keep eggs from Wednesday onwards as we eat vegetarian food on Thursdays. So I replace the eggs with yogurt. The cake was very delicious , soft, gooey and that little bitterness of the coffee and its aroma /flavour. Wow!! heavenly.

Try this coffee cake once at your home and do send in your feedback too which will keep me going :)




Ingredients:

Flour: 1 cup
Sugar: 1/2 cup
Oil: 3-4 tbsp
Vanilla Essence: 1 tsp
Baking Powder: 1/2 tsp
Baking Soda: A pinch
Yogurt: 3/4 cup
Milk: 1/2 cup
Coffee Powder: 5 tsp
Cocoa powder: 1 tbsp.

Method:

Preheat the oven at 180 degree Celsius.

In a mixing bowl, sieve the flour, baking powder & baking soda. In another bowl , add sugar, oil , milk, yogurt, vanilla essence and beat them well. Now into the dry mix, add the cocoa powder & coffee powder and mix them. Fold in this dry mixture into the wet mix and keep aside.

Grease the cake tin/mould with oil with the help of a brush or with your hands. Pour the mixture into the mould/tin and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Once the cake is baked, keep it on a cooling rack. Cut into pieces and keep in refrigerator in a air-tight container and keep enjoying with your cuppa.
