Serves:
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups white sugar
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp instant coffee granules
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 large eggs
- For the Cappuccino Buttercream:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 1 tsp instant coffee granules
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- For the Cappuccino Drizzle:
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp cocoa powder
- 1 tsp instant coffee granules
- 2 tbsp hot water
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, instant coffee granules, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the coffee and milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients.
-
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
-
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Transfer the cakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In the meantime, prepare the cappuccino buttercream. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, coffee, instant coffee granules, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat until smooth and fluffy.
-
Once the cakes are completely cooled, frost one cake layer with a generous amount of cappuccino buttercream. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining buttercream.
-
To prepare the cappuccino drizzle, whisk together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, instant coffee granules, and hot water until smooth. Drizzle over the frosted cake.
-
Slice and serve the cappuccino cake.
