Ingredients

For The Cake

1 Tbsp.
espresso-style instant coffee granules
2 Tbsp.
hot water
3
large eggs
200 g
caster sugar
100 g
plain natural yoghurt
80 g
unsalted butter, melted and cooled for 5mins
170 g
plain flour
1 tsp.
baking powder
Pinch of salt
1 tsp.
vanilla extract
2 Tbsp.
whole milk

For The Glaze

1 tsp.
espresso-style instant coffee
2 Tbsp.
boiling water
75 g
icing sugar

For The Icing

100 g
icing sugar
1 Tbsp.
whole milk
Cocoa powder, for dusting

Directions

1. Step 1 Preheat the oven to 180ºC (160ºC fan). Grease and line a 20cm loaf tin.
2. Step 2In a ramekin stir together the instant coffee and boiling water and set aside to cool to room temperature.
3. Step 3In a stand mixer or with an electric hand mixer whisk the eggs and sugar until light and frothy, and doubled in volume. Add the yogurt and melted butter and whisk until combined. Fold through the flour, baking powder and salt.
4. Step 4Divide the batter evenly between 2 bowls, adding the vanilla and milk to one half and the cooled coffee mixture to the other lot of batter.
5. Step 5Blob alternating spoons of batter into the prepared tin and lightly swirl together with a knife.
6. Step 6Bake for 45-50mins until springy to the touch.
7. Step 7Mix together all of the ingredients for the glaze until smooth. Once the cake has baked, use a cocktail stick or skewer to poke holes all over the top. Spoon over the glaze and let sink in.
8. Step 8Let the cake cool in its tin for at least 20mins before turning out and removing the baking paper.
9. Step 9Stir together the milk and icing sugar to form a thick icing and drizzle in lines over the cake. Dust the top with a tiny bit of cocoa powder if you’d like.
