MY COFFEE CAKE

7 eggs

300 g butter

350 g plain flour with 3 tsp baking powder

350 g caster sugar

1 tbs strong coffee dissolved in hot water 

Cream butter and add the sugar gradually. Once it is nice 

and fluffy add the eggs gradually.Mix the flour sifted with 
baking powder. Bake in 180c oven for about 45-50 mts. 
Check before you take it out. I leave it in the oven after 
one big tray. This is the double quantity to get the layers 
high. Cut in half and make four layers.

ICING

150 g butter
300 g icing sugar

200 g block dark chocolate( I use dark eating 

chocolate)melted with some butter

If you like more coffee taste omit the chocolate and add 

some coffee instead.(coffee dissolved in some water to make 

a paste)

Beat the butter until soft and add the icing sugar. Dont add 

too much icing sugar it make the icing hard. Normally I put 
half of the melted chocolate in the icing first and make two 
layers and then add the rest of the chocolate to the icing. In 
that way I get two different layers of icing which I like much 
better!
