Ingredients
  

Ingredients for Cake

  • 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour 180gm (after measuring this out, remove 2 tbsp. of flour and put it back in the flour bag. Replace it with 2 tbsp. of cocoa powder to bring it back to the original measurement)
  • 1 tsp. vanilla essence
  • 1 tbsp. instant coffee powder dissolved in 1 tbsp. hot water
  • 2 large eggs use 3 if you have small eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk 100gm
  • 3/4 cup sugar 150gm
  • 1/2 cup butter/margarine 112gm

Ingredients for White Chocolate Frosting

  • 115 gm white chocolate broken into pieces
  • 55 gm. butter softened
  • 3 tbsp. milk
  • 175 gm icing sugar

Instructions
 

  • Grind the sugar to a powder and set aside.
    Sift the flour with the cocoa twice and set aside.
    Grease and line an 8″ round pan or grease a medium bunt cake pan and set aside. Preheat oven to 170 C.
    Beat the butter with the sugar until light and creamy. Then add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
    Now add a third of the flour and beat until combined, then add half the milk. Again beat the batter until milk is mixed in. Add another third of the flour, mix it in, and then add the remaining milk. Finally add the last of the flour, coffee and the vanilla essence. Beat just until everything is well combined.
    Pour into prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean.
    Remove from pan and let it cool completely before frosting.
    For White Chocolate Frosting
    Place chocolate, butter and milk in a bowl set over a saucepan of boiling water and stir until chocolate has melted. Remove the bowl and sift the icing sugar into it, beat until smooth and creamy. Then quickly spread over the cake and dust the top with cocoa powder. Let it set before cutting.
    ENJOY! 🙂

Notes

  1. Make sure all the ingredients are at room temperature for best results
  2. For an extra intense coffee flavor, once the cake has cooled, poke holes into it with a toothpick, then mix another 1 tsp. of instant coffee with 1 tbsp. hot water or hot milk, and using a brush, drizzle this coffee into the cake
