Coffee, cinnamon sponge cake

Coffee, cinnamon cake one of my favourite flavour. I tried to make a small cake today and it came out super soft and spongy.

Followed a very ordinary and simple recipe.

All purpose flour/maida 225 grams
Unsalted butter 225 grams
Castor sugar 225 grams
Eggs small in size 6 nos.
Instant coffee powder 2 tsp
Cinnamon a pinch
Nutmeg powder a pinch
Vanilla essence a few drops

Crushed or sliced almonds a handful 

Process

Heat the oven to 180C

You can line in cake tin with baking parchment if you have it. I have applied butter and dusted with flour.

Cream the butter(in room temperature) and the powdered sugar together until pale. Use an electric hand mixer if you have one.

Beat in the eggs, white and yolk together. If you want you can beat them separately.

Sift over the flour and fold in using a spatula. Add a few drops of vanilla essence, instant coffee, nutmeg, cinnamon and fold. Make sure the mixture should be of a dropping consistency.

Gently spread out in cake tin with a spatula. Garnish with crushed almonds. Bake for 30 - 35 minutes until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool down to room temperature. Cut into desired shapes and enjoy the spongy soft freshly baked coffee cinnamon cake. Its delicious!
