Tips:

  • Use fresh coffee. Stale coffee will make your cake taste bitter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the toothpick comes out with batter on it, the cake needs to bake longer.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the cake for up to 2 months.

Additional tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use dark roast coffee.
