Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs
- 135g granulated sugar
- 310g all-purpose flour
- 100ml vegetable oil
- 120ml brewed coffee, cooled
- 1 packet of baking powder (approximately 16g)
- Optional: chocolate chips and sugar crystals for topping
Instructions:
- Prepare the Coffee:
- Brew 120ml of strong coffee and allow it to cool completely. This will prevent the eggs from cooking when the coffee is added to the batter.
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F) with the fan setting on for even baking.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 eggs and 135g of granulated sugar. Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture for several minutes until it becomes light and fluffy.
- Gradually add 100ml of vegetable oil and the cooled coffee to the egg mixture, continuing to mix until fully combined.
- Incorporate the Dry Ingredients:
- Sift 310g of all-purpose flour and 1 packet of baking powder into the wet ingredients. Mix gently with the electric mixer until just combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain the cake’s fluffiness.
- Prepare the Cake Pan:
- Grease a Bundt cake pan thoroughly with butter or cooking spray. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Add Toppings:
- Sprinkle the top of the batter with chocolate chips and sugar crystals for added sweetness and texture.
- Bake the Cake:
- Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake at 170°C (340°F) for about 35-40 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- If the top browns too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.
- Cool and Serve:
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan. This helps the cake set and makes it easier to remove from the pan.
- After cooling, gently invert the cake onto a serving plate, slice, and enjoy!
