Ingredients
- . 3 eggs
- . A pinch of salt
- . 8g vanilla sugar
- . 100ml milk
- . 1 tablespoon instant coffee
- . 180g all-purpose flour
- . 20g unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably dark/bitter)
- . 15g baking powder
Instructions
- . Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a medium cake pan.
- . In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and vanilla sugar until light and fluffy.
- . In a small saucepan, heat the milk gently and dissolve the instant coffee in it. Let it cool slightly.
- . In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa, and baking powder.
- . Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture, alternating with the coffee-infused milk. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- . Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
- . Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- . Let the cake cool slightly before removing from the pan. Dust with powdered sugar or glaze if desired.
Baking Tips
- . Use room temperature eggs for better volume.
- . Don’t overmix after adding flour—this keeps the cake tender.
- . Serve with whipped cream, berries, or chocolate ganache for an elevated dessert.
