Easy Coffee Loaf Cake 

I realised recently I was missing anything coffee on my website. (Except my Vodka Espresso Martini)! So here’s my lovely recipe for an Easy Coffee Loaf Cake 🙂 

It took me a month to perfect it, so sorry it took ages.

But I think it’s worth it for a great coffee cake! 

Moist Coffee Cake Recipe

I wanted this loaf cake to be  really moist and so I did a huge amount of research.  

I  decided I’d try adding some soured cream into the mix.

It is supposed to keep it moist and I’m really happy to say it certainly flipping does.

Coffee Cake Texture

It also gives it a nice dense texture, perfect to have cold with a brew!

This lovely cake is sturdy enough for a lunch box too!

I’d call it a tin cake, you know one to always have in the tin incase anyone pops round (not sure how long it would stay in the tin as it’s so good!).

It’s delicious but not too ‘fancy.’

Do you know what I mean?

A good basic staple – a cuppa tea cake or a cup of coffee cake! 

The Easy Coffee Cake Glaze 

I really didn’t want to have a buttercream icing on this loaf, but I’m sure it would be lovely too 

(Actually if you split the cake lengthways and added vanilla buttercream and use the same coffee glaze on the top, this cake would become a seriously  fancy cake!!)

Yum I’m going to do that next time

However this time I fancied a sort of coffee flavour icing and boy it’s good!

It adds an intense coffee punch with a sweet kick (but not too much) 

This icing is also really easy and would work perfectly on cupcakes too!

Loaf Liners for loaf Cakes?

Also before I forget, have you discovered loaf liners yet?

Oh they are fantastic, you can say ‘bye’ to trying to line a loaf tin!

I love them, so easy and you can find them in most supermarkets and they are not expensive either

Just a note, I always use my trusted stand mixer however there is no reason you can mix by hand.

Just make sure you cream your butter and sugar until light and creamy

So why not have a go and please let me know what you think! 

I hope you enjoy – just look at it 🙂
