Also fellow coffee lovers, I got you with this Mocha Icebox (fancy for no bake) cake and this EASY Coffee Toffee Ice Cream! Oh and let’s not forget that desi classic of Phitti Hui Coffee! My sister in law recently made this coffee flavored cake and brought it over for me to try (so good) and insisted I make it as well and am I glad I did. She found the recipe and it was originally posted here. I tweaked it slightly to enhance the coffee flavor, but otherwise it is as posted. The result is a cake that is moist and full bodied and just perfect with the creamy sweetness of the buttercream. Unlike most cake recipes this makes a smaller amount of cake and frosting which is nice because let’s face it: If it made the twice the amount I would still finish it equally fast.
Bombay Bakery Cake
Bombay Bakery makes a lot of cakes, but if you are from Karachi and someone says Bombay Bakery Cake you have a singular expectation. It is the slim soft cake with coffee frosting. This cake is reminiscent of that cake. The big difference? I think this one may be just a bit better. It has bolder coffee flavour and nothing beats homemade fresh. This my friends is just a personal opinion and I am always happy to agree to disagree 🙂
Tested and Re-tested
I get an itch every now and then to start playing with a recipe, to try and figure out if it can be improved. For this recipe I adjusted the butter, played with more oil, tweaked the sugars and so on. When it came down to it the only thing that I found made the cake any better was to halfway melt the butter. It made the cake a little more moist without sacrificing any flavor. I also have my friend Areeba from Mint Candy Designs to thank for accidentally testing it this way too. Looking for more throwback desserts?
