Ingredients
makes 1 cake
- •225g self-raising flour
- •½ tsp baking powder
- •100ml vegetable oil
- •125ml cooled espresso (or 6 tsp instant coffee granules)
- •150g light muscovado sugar
- •1 tsp vanilla extract
- •6 tbsp aquafaba
- •230g icing sugar
- •2-3 tbsp espresso (2 tsp instant coffee granules)
- •50g walnuts (optional)
Directions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 170°C. Line the base of a cake tin with baking paper and brush the sides with a little oil.
- 2. In a medium bowl, sift the flour and baking powder, and set aside.
- 3. In a large bowl, whisk the oil, coffee, sugar, vanilla and aquafaba together.
- 4. Stir the flour mixture into the wet ingredients until combined.
- 5. Pour the mixture into the tin and bake for 25-30 minutes, until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Leave to cool completely before decorating.
- 6. For the icing, blend 30g of the icing sugar with a teaspoon of water in a small bowl.
- 7. In a separate bowl, combine the remaining icing sugar with the coffee to make a thick icing. Using a palette knife, coat the top of the cake with the coffee icing, allowing it to trickle down the sides.
- 8. Drizzle the white icing in lines across the top and feather with a skewer. Decorate with walnuts.
