Coffee Cake Glaze
Ingredients:
– 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
– 1 tsp baking powder
– ½ tsp baking soda
– ¼ tsp salt
– 1 tsp ground cinnamon
– ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– ¾ cup plain yogurt
– ½ cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
Glaze:
– 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
– 2-3 tbsp brewed coffee, cooled
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set the dry ingredients aside.
3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the yogurt. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
5. Gently fold in the brewed coffee until fully incorporated. The batter will be slightly thin but that’s normal.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the confectioners’ sugar and brewed coffee in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more coffee if needed.
8. Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Drizzle the coffee cake with the prepared glaze, allowing it to drip down the sides. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before slicing and serving your delightful Coffee Cake Glaze.
Enjoy this comforting coffee-infused cake with loved ones or savor a quiet moment with a slice and a cup of your favorite coffee blend. The sweet glaze adds a touch of decadence to the moist cake, making it a perfect treat for any time of day.
