White Chocolate and Coffee Cake

White chocolate and coffee cake

Maybe because it is the change in season…maybe because it is the nip in the air…but I am loving the aroma and taste of coffee.. I love a good cup of coffee in the morning and what better accompaniment than a white chocolate and coffee cake.

Ingredients

40 gm butter

85 gm white chocolate

125 gm sugar

4 eggs, beaten

2 tbsp strong coffee

1 tsp vanilla essence

125 gm flour

Use a double boiler to melt the white chocolate and butter. When melted remove from heat.

On the same double boiler put a pan containing sugar, eggs, coffee and vanilla essence.

Whisk hard with an electric whisk. The water should be on a gentle simmer and not boiling. The mixture should become pale and leave a trail of ribbon.

Remove from the double boiler and fold in the flour.

Add the butter chocolate mix.

Preheat the oven at 180 degrees. Bake the cake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes.

It makes an excellent tea time cake.
