Filling....cream all well together
4 Tblsp butter
2 Tblsp coffee essence

Can't go past coffee essence can you? Coffee cake never tastes right without it IMHO...here is my sister's recipe:

Rachel's Easy Coffee Cake

170g flour
2 tsp BP
1 c sugar
Sift these into a bowl. Melt 60 g butter into a measuring cup. Add 2 eggs then fill cup with milk. (you need 1 cup liquid all up) Tip this into dry ingredients and mix for 2 minutes. Add 1 tbsp coffee essence and beat some more until well combined, Bake 1/2 hour in ring tin - I usually double this mixture for a large cake because it goes fairly quickly!
Edited to add - make buttercream with coffee essence and ice the top, or fill the cake with it when cold :)

Old Edmonds book, still the best one around.

Do you mean a cake with coffee flavouring, or a cake to have with coffee?

My whole family LOVE this one...

Yes -in NZ we usually mean a coffee-flavoured cake but in the US it means a buttery cake often with a crunchy topping served with coffee....

Made charlieb2's cake this morning for visitors - we all loved it.I'll definately be adding this one to my repertoire.Only cooked it for 40 mins though and I think next time, I'll start checking after 35.Came away from edge of tin nicely.(I used sour cream in place of yoghurt which worked well). Also turned out after about 5mins.

bump so i can find it quicker to write out the recipe

COFFEE CLOUD SPONGE CAKE
1 tbsp. instant coffee
1 c. boiling water
2 c. sifted flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
6 egg whites (3/4 c.)
1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
1/2 c. sugar
6 egg yolks (1/2 c.)
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
Dissolve coffee in boiling water, or use 1 cup strong coffee; cool. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat egg whites with cream of tartar in large bowl at high speed until very soft mounds begin to form; add 1/2 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, and continue beating until very stiff, straight peaks form when beater is raised - do not underbeat. Set aside.
Beat egg yolks in large mixer bowl until blended; gradually add sugar and vanilla and beat at high speed until thick and lemon coloured, 4-5 minutes. Add dry ingredients alternately with cooled coffee, beginning and ending with dry ingredients; blend thoroughly after each addition. With electric mixer, use low speed. Fold yolk mixture 1/4 at a time into stiff egg whites; fold about 15 strokes after each addition. After last addition, continue folding just until evenly blended.
Pour into ungreased 10 inch tube pan and cut through batter 3-4 times to remove large air bubbles. Bake in 350 degree oven 60-70 minutes. Invert immediately and cool in pan at least 1 hour. Frost and sprinkle with more chopped nuts, if desired.
Coffee Icing: Cream 2 tablespoons butter; blend in 2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons instant coffee; cream well. Gradually add 2 tablespoons plus 2-3 teaspoons milk until of spreading consistency.
