Michelle Darmody is baking with the old favourite - coffee

A COFFEE cake is an “oldie but a goodie”, I love it when freshly baked, but it also lasts quite well in a tin, for a few days.

Keep it in a cool place, but not in the fridge, as this will make the sponge hard and dry. It is one of those cakes that I come back to time and again.

It is not too challenging to make and anything smothered in coffee buttercream icing is a positive for me.
