Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare two 9” pans with parchment paper and butter.
  • In a big bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add in the eggs, oil, and buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
  • Mix instant coffee with hot water and add to the batter. Mix until combined.
  • Take 1/3 of the batter into another bowl, sift in the cocoa powder, and fold it in.
  • Pour the original batter into the two pans equally, then spoon on the cocoa batter. Swirl with a toothpick for a marbled effect.
  • Bake for 25-28 minutes until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs. Let the cakes cool.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together coffee, sugar, and water until it forms a light-colored, thick mixture (Dalgona).
  • In another bowl, whisk butter and 1.5 cups icing sugar until light and airy. Add the Dalgona mixture and whisk until smooth. Adjust to taste.
  • Once the cakes have cooled, trim off the tops, divide into two layers each, and assemble on a cake stand with buttercream between layers. Cover the top and edges with buttercream.
  • Refrigerate for 1 hour, then serve and enjoy your delicious coffee cake!
