🟫Sugar 100g
🟫Flour 100g
🟫Eggs 2
🟫Coffee 1 tbsp
🟫Warm water 2 tbsp
🟫Baking powder 1/2 tsp
🟫Vanilla 1/2 tsp

I put a little quantity of water in my pot and boil for some minutes and the thereafter l added one teaspoon of coffee into a clean bowl and pour in two teaspoon of the hot water.

The second things, I did was taking of a clean bowl. Then, I added the required amount of butter and sugar to the bowl and beat it consistently for a while.

---

I added my egg one by one and mixed it together using the same spatula till I achieved a smooth texture mix.

---

To have a lovely flavor and aroma, I added vanilla to the beaten mixture and continue beating.

---

Next I added was Baking powder to the flour and Stevie them to the mixture in bowl. I mixed thoroughly to avoid lumps and achieved a beautiful smooth batter.

After preparing the batter, I added the coffee which was displayed in warm water. At this point, it has turned cold . I Mix everything very well.

I greased the baking pan with butter to be able to provide friction at the end of baking which will help removing the baked cake easily from the pan.

I then transferred the batter into the greased baking pan and baked after preheating the oven. I baked it for 40 minutes and it was very yummy and palatable.

I removed the cake from the oven and allowed it to cool for a while and then cut it for my children and mi family members.
