Tip

This was made with commercially prepared iced coffee. It would work beautifully with home made iced coffee. We just needed to use our free coffee up, which is how this cake was born.

    After reading existing comments we made this cake with a few alterations. We made our own ice coffee 400ml full cream milk with 4 heaped teaspoons of instant coffee to be used for cake and icing. It had a nice coffee flavour. You could taste the coffee but not too strong.

    We decided to add 50gms less butter as per sleepingd comment. Next time I will use the full amount of butter. As per what the recipe states.

    I had our oven set on 140°c fan forced. I had it in the oven for 1hr before checking and it was done. I could have cooked it for 5 or 10 minutes less even. I'm not sure if I did something wrong?

    Overall I was quite happy with the cake and my huband and my girl friends enjoyed it. Next time I will use the whole 300 gms of butter and will check the cake after 45 minutes. Thank you for a great recipe

  • Not a very strong flavour and

    Not a very strong flavour and although it is very moist, it tastes very buttery, I would almost reduce the amount of butter by 50g at least.

    This is a erally nice arvo tea cake. Just made it to put in hubbies eski for smoko. Got the tick of approval! 

    Only change I made was I only used 180gms raw sugar. I think its still plenty sweet enough. I also changed the icing. I used normal cows milk and added a dash of vanilla and a sprinkle of cinnamin. Delish! 

    Thanks for the recipe!
