Coffee Cake

This recipe has been taken from Kichu Khon's blog. Loved it so it is here in my cook book


Need : 2 cups maida / refined flour, a little more than 1/2 cup cooking oil, 1/2 cup milk, 3 teaspoon baking powder, 1&1/2 cup sugar, 1 pinch salt, 6-8 drops of vannila essence, coffee powder as per ur liking ( the granules are better) .

How to : Grind the sugar into a powder first. Mix everything except coffee together. At last add coffee as per ur taste

Just make sure there are no lumps. And the mixture should be of pouring consistency .... so add more milk if you find it turning thick.

Pre heat oven. Bake at 180 degrees C for 35-40 min or till done. Remove from oven only when the cake has cooled.


I had little less maida so i added fine semolina (about 1/2 cup) and two big spoons of whole wheat flour and also I used sugar granules and it still  turned out yummy! Enjoy
