COFFEE CRUMBLED CAKE - i was craving for something that will remind me of home today, so i decided to make this cake, it was surprisingly really good. it tastes a little like chiffon cake but in a dryer side, i didn't use egg whites or vegetable oil for this cake, so it was interesting how it tastes like a chiffon cake. please don't get disappointed about the "dryer" side of the cake because the topping is super delicious, too! now, if you are not a fan of a dry cake, then this is not for you. but i gotta say, the toppings compliments the cake. it's a great combination. i enjoyed pairing the cake with coffee, tea or even ice cream. it's super delicious!

i recommend using a bigger cake mold for this recipe, i honestly thought it will fit in my baking cake pan but as you can see, it overflowed, but that didn't took away the deliciousness of this cake. :)

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup milk
• 2 cups flour

• 1/4 tsp salt

for the topping:

• 1 cup (packed) brown sugar
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 2 tsp instant coffee
• 1 stick softened butter (1/2 cup)

directions:

1. pre heat the oven to 350F
2. spray the baking cake pan with a vegetable oil to prevent the cake from sticking
3. into the mixing bowl, add the butter, sugar and combine
4. then add the egg and mix using a hand mixer. you can also use a whisker too, it's your preference
5. then add the milk and combine
6. add the flour and mix. about a minute
7. add the baking powder, vanilla extract and salt. mix all together about a minute. the batter should be thicker
8. pour the cake batter into the prepared pan then flatten the top to even out. set aside
9. for the topping, combine the brown sugar, flour, ground cinnamon, instant coffee and butter into a mixing bowl
10. mix together until crumbly, but not over mixed
11. place the topping mixture on top of the cake batter
12. bake to 40 to 50 minutes or until the toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean
13. enjoy!

happy baking!

3. make sure to cool down the cupcakes completely before adding the frosting otherwise you'll end up with a runny frost
