coffee pound cake

When I bought a bottle of coffee emulco on impulse from the supermarket, I was wondering what I could do with it.

I have since learned that variety is the spice of life and one should dare to experiment when it comes to cooking and baking.

As such, here is my version of coffee pound cake. Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS


120g cake flour
3/4 tsp baking powder
125g butter (softened)
50g brown sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp coffee emulco
1/2 cup condensed milk
2 eggs

METHOD

1. Preheat the oven to 175 degrees celsius.

2. Grease and flour an 8" x 4" loaf pan. Set aside.

3. Sift the cake flour and baking powder in a bowl. Set aside.

4. Cream the butter and brown sugar in a mixing bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.

5. Add the salt and coffee emulco and mix well.

6. Add the condensed milk and mix until combined.

7. Set the electric mixer at low speed and add the flour mixture in 3 separate additions, mixing well with each addition until the batter is smooth.

8. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well with each addition.

9. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.
