Vanilla Latte Cake




Since it’s release in the UK in the past couple of days, I’ve clocked up over 12 kilometres travel from just wandering around building up and training my little squad. My boyfriend is home from Croatia tomorrow, and our plans above all else are to go Pokémon hunting around town and to be perfectly honest, I couldn’t be happier.

As someone who has worked in a coffee shop for nearly two years, I’ve become one of those people who most often drinks their coffee black with no sugar or trimmings. However that doesn’t mean that I’m not partial to the gentle comfort of a milky coffee from time to time. This Vanilla Latte Cake is just that, a mellow, subtle, non-judgmental mouthful of coffee flavour laced with sweet vanilla. Something even those who only really like coffee for the sickly sweet syrup can enjoy.

Ingredients

For the cake:
  • 200g (13 tbsp) softened butter/margarine
  • 200g (1 cup) caster sugar
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 4 eggs
  • 200g (1 ½ cups) self-raising flour
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tbsp coffee granules dissolved in 2 tbsp water OR 3-4 shots of espresso

For the buttercream:
  • 250g (16 tbsp) softened butter
  • 400g (2 cups) icing sugar
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp coffee granules dissolved in 1 tbsp water OR 1-2 shots of espresso

Instructions
For the cake:
  1. Preheat your oven - 180°C / 160°C fan / 350°F / gas mark 4 - and grease/line two 20-25cm (6-8in) sandwich cake tins.
  2. Place your butter, sugar and vanilla into a large bowl and beat with a mixer or by hand until light and fluffy.
