Prep Time 20 minutes

Cooking Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

400 g sugar
240 g flour
2 t baking powder
1½ t bicarbonate of soda
½ t salt
50 g cocoa powder
2 t granulated coffee
1 Cup hot water
1 cup milk
2 free-range eggs
½ cup oil
2 t vanilla essence

For the icing:

2. Sift the dry ingredients into a large bowl.

3. Stir the coffee into the hot water until dissolved. Add the milk and whisk. Combine the wet ingredients.
