Jamaican Coffee Syrup Cake
185g softened butter 1 c lightly packed brown sugar 1 T instant coffee powder dissolved in 1 t hot water 1 t vanilla 1 T dark rum 3 eggs lightly beaten 3 c SR flour 1/3 c milk
Syrup
3/4 c sugar 1 c boiling water 1 dsp instant coffee powder 1 dsp dark rum
To make the syrup caramelise the sugar until a good toffee colour but don't allow to get too dark, add the water carefully and stir to dissolve the toffee. Let cool, then put aside half a cup for the cake and stir coffee and rum into the rest.
Cream butter and sugar with the dissolved coffee, vanilla and rum until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, then fold in the flour and milk and the half cup of syrup. Divide the mixture between 2 greased and baking paper lined cake tins or put it in one deep 23 cm tin.
Bake at 170C for 25-30 mins for two tins or 50-60 mins for one tin. Turn out onto a rack and let cool.
Brush a little of the flavoured syrup over the undersides of the two cakes or cut the large cake in half and brush each cut side with syrup. Fill generously with softly whipped cream sweetened to taste and drizzle the remaining syrup over gradually to allow it to soak into the cake.

An oldie but a goodie - "Perfect Cake" 1/2 cup (125g) butter, 1 cup sugar, 3 eggs (beaten), 1&3/4 cups flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 cup milk.Cream the butter & sugar. Add the beaten eggs, then the sifted flour & baking powder. Lastly add the milk. Bake at 180ºC for about 30 minutes. Variation:This is a basic mix that can be varied to make a chocolate cake, lemon cake, orange, marble cake, or…. e.g. for a Coffee Cake- add 2 tbsp coffee essence & adjust the milk quantity to be 1/2 cup minus 2 tbsp.

quick & easy to mix, moist, keeps & freezes well. YOGHURT CAKE. You need 1 washed empty 125ml yoghurt container. Place all the following in a mixing bowl in the order given: 3 x 125ml containers self-raising flour, 2 x 125ml containers caster sugar, 1 x 125ml yoghurt – plain or fruity (apricot is really nice), 1 x 125ml container cooking oil, 1 tsp vanilla essence, 3 eggs (beaten). Beat all together until smooth, then bake in a 20cm diameter cake tin at 160ºC for approx. 1&1/2 hours or in a 20cm diameter ring tin at 160ºC for 1 hour, or until golden. Ice if you wish but is nice as is.

Can someone point me in the right direction. .to some posts that are "add all dry ingredients then wet ingredients and mix". I am a new baker with children with diary allergies and just learning. Drooling over getting a cake mixer at the moment though which should help.

This is a winner in this house and goes sooo fast!! I double it and freeze 1 :) Have made it with maca nuts and walnuts so far. I have even added speculaas spice and not added the cin and cloves. Both are winner on taste!! Enjoy :)
NOTE: This recipe makes 8 cakes and is best made on the day of serving.
Preheat the oven to moderately slow (160C). Grease an 8-cup petite loaf pan.
Beat the butter, essence and sugar in a small bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating until they are just combined between additions.
Fold in the combined sifted flours and juice in two batches. Spread the mixture into the prepared pan.
Cut the unpeeled apple into quarters; slice thinly. Overlap the apple slices on the top of the cakes.
Combine the demerara sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, sprinkle half the sugar mixture over the cakes. Bake in a moderate oven for about 25 minutes or until cooked when tested. Turn the cakes onto a wire rack to cool. Sprinkle with the remaining sugar mixture
