COFFEE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• Place the butter in a large mixer bowl and beat on high speed for several minutes until light and fluffy.
• Sift in half of the confectioner's sugar and beat again, starting slowly until incorporated and then increase to high until well-whipped.
• Add the remaining confectioner's sugar along with the cold coffee, and the milk and mix slowly until just incorporated. Then increase the speed and beat well until whipped and creamy.
• Spread or pipe onto your baked treats - cake, cupcakes, etc.
• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan. Line and butter two 18cm sandwich tins. Add the sugar and butter to a bowl and whisk until very fluffy and pale.
• Whisk the eggs in a mug with a fork, then add them gradually to the mixture with 1 tbsp of flour each time. (Make sure you don't use all the flour.) When the eggs have been fully combined into the mix, add the rest of the flour and fold it in gently.
• Add the dissolved coffee to the mixture, still folding. Divide into the sandwich tins and cook for 25-30 min until risen and firm and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin for 5 mins then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Can be frozen at this stage.
• Meanwhile, make the icing by beating the icing sugar with the butter until light and fluffy, then add the dissolved coffee. Whisk, then cover and set aside until ready to ice the cake.
• Spread half the icing on the bottom of one sponge and spread the strawberry jam on the bottom of the other, if using. Sandwich together, then spread the remaining icing on top. Decorate with walnuts or cherries, if you like.

HOW TO MAKE COFFEE ICING

Steps:

• Prepare the strong-brewed coffee and set it aside. You can make some using a coffee maker or one part instant coffee and one part hot water. You can also use a shot of espresso.
• Pour the powdered sugar through a sieve into a bowl. This will break up any clumps that might be in the sugar, resulting in a smoother texture when you finish.
• Mix in the strongly-brewed coffee. Pour the coffee into the sugar while mixing the sugar briskly with a fork or a small whisk. You will get a thick, syrup-like consistency.
• Pour the glaze over your cake, cupcake, or pastry. Work quickly, as this glaze will harden up.
