How to Make Chocolate Coffee Cake

1. Prepare the Cake Batter

In a large bowl:

1. Whisk together the eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy.

2. Add the milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

3. In a separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, instant coffee, and salt.

4. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and whisk until just combined.
   The batter should be silky and pourable.

2. Bake the Cake

1. Line a rectangular baking tray with parchment paper.

2. Pour the batter evenly into the tray.

3. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

4. Let it cool completely.

5. Slice the cake horizontally to create a top and bottom layer.

3. Make the Coffee Cream

In a saucepan:

1. Combine condensed milk, butter, cream (or milk), and instant coffee.

2. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously until it thickens slightly.

3. The mixture should be smooth, glossy, and spreadable.

4. Let it cool—this helps it thicken further.

4. Assemble the Cake

1. Spread the coffee cream evenly over the bottom cake layer.

2. Place the top layer back on.

3. Gently press to secure the filling.

4. Cut into squares as shown in the picture.

5. Dust with powdered sugar for a polished finish.
