I thought this cake would be a nice treat for Mother’s Day – what mom doesn’t like coffee? The cake and frosting make for a great dessert that could even be eaten at breakfast or tea time. I also love this frosting! It has such a great coffee flavor and I love how it kind of crusts as it dries – making it not all fall completely off the cake when glazing.

Coffee Chiffon Cake
Coffee Chiffon Cake adapted from About Professional Baking
Coffee Frosting is a Love & Confections original recipe

Coffee Chiffon Cake Ingredients:
 – 255 grams sifted Cake Flour
 – 50 grams Granulated Sugar #1
 – 12 grams Baking Powder
 – 3 grams Salt
 – 120 milliliters Canola Oil
 – 95 grams Egg Yolks, room temperature
– 75 grams Warm Coffee
 – 224 grams Egg Whites, room temperature
 – 1 gram Cream of Tartar
 – 255 grams Granulated Sugar #2

Coffee Frosting Ingredients:
– 6 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, melted
– 100 grams Powdered Sugar
– 20 grams Warm Coffee
– 1/2 teaspoon Espresso Powder

Coffee Chiffon Cake Directions:
 – Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before starting. Preheat oven to 310F.  If using a false-bottom tube pan, do not grease – as per the original recipe instructions. If using a bundt pan I suggest greasing it and cutting the recipe down by 1/3.
 – Sift together Cake Flour, Granulated Sugar #1, Baking Powder and Salt into a medium mixing bowl.
 – Whisk in Oil and Egg Yolks and Coffee and blend until smooth.
 – Whip Egg Whites in an extremely clean bowl of your stand mixer until foamy. Add in Cream of Tartar and whip until soft peaks form. Gradually add in Granulated Sugar #2 and whip until stiff peaks form.
 – Whisk 1/3 of the whipped egg whites into the cake batter to “lighten”.
 – Gently fold in the remaining egg whites in two additions with a rubber spatula, being careful not to over-mix and deflate the whites.
 – Pour the batter into your chosen cake pan and bake for 30-45 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean – time depends on the size of your pan and the amount of batter used
 – If using a tube pan with metal tabs, cool upside-down, if using a bundt pan, let it cool right-side-up – you can attempt to turn it upside-down if you dare.

Coffee Frosting Directions:
 – Melt Butter over medium-low heat.
 – While butter is melting, whisk together the Powdered Sugar, Coffee and Espresso Powder until combined.
 – While whisking, pour melted butter over the sugar coffee mixture. If you don’t use it immediately, the frosting starts to crust – just re-whisk to smooth it out.
 – Pour over Chiffon Cake and enjoy!
