Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Marbled Coffee Cake.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C). Grab an 8x8 inch baking pan and give it a good greasing to ensure your cake comes out easily later on.
Step 2
In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. This will help aerate the flour and ensure a light cake. In another bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, which should take about 3-5 minutes. This step is crucial for a tender cake!
Step 3
Next, add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Now, gently fold in half of the flour mixture, followed by the milk, and then the remaining flour. Make sure everything is well combined, and then stir in the vanilla extract for that lovely aroma.
Step 4
In a small bowl, take about a third of the batter and set it aside. Dissolve the instant coffee granules in the boiling water, and then mix this coffee liquid into the small bowl of batter. This will give your cake that delightful coffee flavor.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to assemble! Spoon half of the vanilla batter into your prepared baking pan, then layer on the coffee batter. Finally, top it off with the remaining vanilla batter. To create that beautiful marbled effect, take a butter knife and gently swirl the batters together. Don’t overdo it; you want to see those lovely swirls!
Step 6
Pop the pan into your preheated oven and bake for about 35 to 40 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once baked, let the cake cool on a wire rack for about 30 minutes. This cooling time is essential for the flavors to settle.
Step 7
To finish, dust the cooled cake with cinnamon sugar for a sweet, crunchy topping that complements the soft cake perfectly. Slice, serve, and enjoy your delicious marbled coffee cake with a cup of tea or coffee!
