3/4 cup milk
3 tablespoons instant coffee granules
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
8 tablespoons butter

2 1/4 cups cake flour
1/4 teaspoon salt

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the glaze next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but this cake turned out really dry. The flavor was good, but the texture was off.

This cake was a disaster! The batter was too thin, and the cake didn't rise properly. I ended up throwing the whole thing away.
