ABOUT THE RECIPE

Chances are you’ve seen the whipped coffee trend in your feed over the past few weeks. The viral recipe calls for instant coffee, but as you probably know from your early days of coffee experimentation, instant coffee isn’t the best…

So, we’re here to help you out! We’ve tested a recipe that uses an espresso shot instead of the instant kind, and whilst it’s not as foamy as the viral trend, we can assure you it tastes 100 times better.

INGREDIENTS

  • Equal parts espresso coffee and caster sugar (we used a standard espresso shot, which is about 30ml, and 30g of sugar)
  • 1 cup of milk
  • 5 ice cubes

INSTRUCTIONS

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180C (160C fan-forced). Grease a medium/small loaf pan and line with baking paper.

Step 2

Add the butter and sugar to a medium saucepan. Stir on low heat until dissolved, then remove from heat and leave aside to cool.

Step 3

Once the butter/sugar has cooled, add in the egg and Pod & Parcel coffee. Mix well until combined.

Step 4

Add in the flour (ideally sifted) and chopped pecans. Gently fold together until just combined (try not over stir!).

Step 5

Pour the batter into the loaf pan. Cook cake for around 20-25 minutes. The cake is ready when a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean and when the top of the cake springs back when you lightly press it.

Step 6

Remove cake from tin and allow to cool on a wire rack (avoid icing the cake until it has properly cooled)

Step 7

To prepare the icing, add the icing sugar, butter and coffee to a small bowl/saucepan. Place bowl/saucepan over a pot of gently simmering hot water. Stir until smooth and shiny, then pour over the cake.
