Coffee Butter Cake

It's been a while since my last post. In between this, I've bake some cookies and pandan layer cake. Then I decide to bake something that I never bake before. It's coffee cake!
I've never fancy coffee cake. My the other half doesn't drink coffee at all, so it's a risk I am doing it.. LOL.
Anyway, I mixed coffee with rum and surprisingly, he didn't find it irritated his tongue.. :P
When I took out from the oven, the rum fragrant immerse the whole house.
The cake taste real moist and nice, I think it's a keeper.


Ingredients :

• 300g butter
• 220g brown sugar
• 275g plain flour
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 5 eggs
• 2 shots of expresso (or you can use 1tsp instant coffee powder)
• 1 1/2 tsp rum

Methods :

1. Sift flour, baking powder together 3 times.
2. Beat sugar, butter together until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, until blended (approx 1 min before adding another one), on higher speed until the mixture become pale.
3. Add half of the dry ingredients at a time, alternating with coffee and rum mixture. Beat in low speed.
4. Add the rest of the flour by folding method and alternate with coffee and rum.
5. Pour batter into pre-line 22cm ring pan. Bake at 170C for 50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool for 15 minutes before removing from pans.
